Experienced actor Simon Radford joins as General Manager

Category:

Simon Radford joins and plans to make Terrible Tours worse than ever in 2022!

Simon has a 20+ year acting career. Most recently he worked for Freshwater Theatre Company, where he brought history to life in schools, including as a friendly Viking (?), a scary Victorian teacher, a cockney porter from Pudding Lane and even John Lennon! We're hoping he's kept that Viking costume, but hopefully given it a wash.

Previously he has run own youth theatre in Twickenham, directing and producing shows; worked for Shakespeare 4 Kidz, touring the country making the bard fun and accessible for schoolchildren, and worked in the Creative Learning department at Richmond Theatre in London, teaching students and directing productions.

A local boy, born and bred in South Cambridgeshire, Simon has come home to Foxton!
