Revision as of 00:04, 16 October 2014

Brice Stratford is an English theatre director, actor, producer, actor manager, storyteller and stuntman. He is a descendant of the historic Stratford Family.

Stratford's most notable work has been in classical and Shakespearean theatre, particularly with the Owle Schreame theatre company, which he founded in 2008. He received an Off-West End award for theatre in 2013, and established Britain's first full set of awards for classical theatre (Owle Schreame Awards) in 2014.

In 2011 he produced, directed and performed in a critically acclaimed production of Measure for Measure on the archeological site of the Elizabethan Rose theatre which significantly consisted of the first Stage Jig in that space in over 400 years. In 2013 he was similarly responsible for the "Cannibal Valour Repertory Season" of obscure theatre, notably featuring the first performances in history of two English renaissance plays (Honoria and Mammon by James Shirley , and The Unfortunate Mother by Thomas Nabbes ), alongside the second modern production of George Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois, in which he also played the title role.
