Meet The Company

Adam graduated Staffordshire University in 2019 with a BA First Class Honours in Acting and Theatre Arts. Whilst studying at Staffordshire University they discovered their passion for directing and has been growing their craft ever since. It is during this time that Adam assisted departmental staff on a range of classical texts, from playwrights including William Shakespeare, Ben Johnston and Maxim Gorky. 

​

In 2020 they graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London with a MA in Theatre Directing - course founded and conveyed by Katie Mitchell. Under the guidance of Katie, Adam has been able to observe international high scale productions and study a range of European Theatre practitioners - methodology they hope to use in their own rehearsal room.

​

Adam has successfully led Peripeteia Theatre Company since its founding in 2020. Amongst that time, they have overseen the growth of the company, this includes tours of shows such as Sandy (2021), The creation of our Digital Hub (2022), and the launch of our community outreach programme The Boiler Room (2023).

​

Outside Peripeteia Theatre, their work has been seen across theatres in the North West and Greater London. 

​

Adam is also the Supervising Director of JB Shorts. A role which they have held since 2024.

Jess graduated from Staffordshire University in 2020 with a First-Class degree in Acting & Theatre Arts and followed on with her MA at the same institution in Collaborative Theatre Practice.

 
After training as an actor during her BA, she discovered a preference for being off-stage and has continued as a director, stage manager and occasional playwright since.

​

Her credits include 13 by Mike Barlett and Spring Awakening by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater as an assistant director, and RED by John Logan and Orca by Matt Grinter as sole director. 

​

In 2022, she worked with Peripeteia for this first time on Family Tree, written by Adam Cachia. This has then led to Jess being involved with the company as Associate Director and supporting on productions including Mirror Mirror (2022), My Gay Best Friend (2023 and 2024).

Bernadett completed her BA in English Literature at the University of Greenwich, where she was drawn to the ‘Theatre of the Absurd’. Her dissertation focused on the use of silence in Harold Pinter’s plays - using Wittgenstein theory about language- and argues that silence is a form of communication which has the power to express something more meaningful than spoken word. During her BA, she was heavily influenced by contemporary British and German drama as well as contemporary literature.

 

She pursued her interests through completing an MA in Playwriting at Royal Holloway, University of London, where she started to develop her practice, involving breaking the forms and structures of plays to invite the audience to feel more intimate and empathetic. Her works continue to revolve around post-modernist writing, representation of the unconscious, use of multiple voices and audio space.

 

Bernadett is also interested in writing for radio and creating a contemporary music theatre using sound instead of music.

​

For Peripeteia, Bernadett wrote maybe it's life (2021) which was our debut stage production at the King's Arms. She is also the co-writer and collaborator of online projects, including The Dreams (2020) and WMN (2021).

Seb is a recent graduate for a BA in English at Royal Holloway, University of London, with a focus on English Medieval and Renaissance drama.

 

He has been writing short pieces for the stage since he was sixteen, and Twenty Today (2022) is Seb's first full length piece that Peripeteia Theatre worked on. Most recently he was a collaborator on the immersive audio anthology series Pandæmonium (2024).

 

Influenced by the work of contemporary playwrights such as Ella Hickson, Lucy Kirkwood and Jez Butterworth, Seb’s work so far focuses on family and belonging, though he is also interested in impossible and surrealist theatre.
