Brice Stratford is an English theatre director, actor, producer, storyteller and stuntman. He is a rare modern example of the actor manager, and a descendant of the Wessex branch of the historic Stratford Family.
The majority of Stratford's 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 in 2013, and established Britain's first full set of awards for classical theatre (the Owle Schreame Awards) in 2014.
In 2011 he produced, directed and performed in a 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 for over 400 years. In 2013 he was similarly responsible for the "Cannibal Valour Repertory Season" of obscure theatre, notably featuring the first recorded performances 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. In 2015 he began "the Vagabond Stage" project of concerted performance research into obscure historical theatre, with the first full production on record of Ralph Roister Doister (written 1552 by Nicholas Udall), the earliest surviving English comedy, in which he also played the title role.
