Brice Stratford is an English director and actor-manager. He is a descendant of the Wessex branch of the historic Stratford Family.

He has worked primarily in classical and Shakespearean theatre, particularly with the Owle Schreame theatre company, which he founded in 2008. He received an Off-West End award in 2013, and established the Owle Schreame Awards in 2014.

The Owle Schreame theatre company

Stratford founded the Owle Schreame in 2008 in Cambridge. In 2011 he produced, directed and performed in Measure for Measure on the site of the former Rose Theatre. In 2013 the company's "Cannibal Valour" programme at St Giles-in-the-Fields in Camden consisted of The Unfortunate Mother by Thomas Nabbes (1640) and two other renaissance plays, Honoria and Mammon by James Shirley (1659) and Bussy D'Ambois by George Chapman, in which Stratford played the lead. In 2015 the company gave Ralph Roister Doister, written in 1553 by Nicholas Udall and thought to be the earliest surviving English comedy, at the Bread & Roses pub in Clapham; Stratford played the title role.

The Owle Schreame Awards

Main article: Owle Schreame Awards

The Owle Schreame Awards were established in 2014 to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth, and are designed to honour innovation in historical theatre. They claim status as the only full awards of this type celebrating classical theatre in performance (as opposed to fringe or West-End theatre), and are the most recently established of the three British awards related to the sphere of classical theatre (alongside the Ian Charleson Awards, 1990, and the Sam Wanamaker Prize, 1994).
