Oliver Brooks

Associate Director

Oliver is the Associate Director of Tortive Theatre and wrote and directed our original production of The Cabaret Club which brought performances from stars of the West End and Broadway live to people's living rooms during lockdown (via Zoom, of course!) A percentage of the The Cabaret Club's profits was donated to the Theatre Artists Fund.

Oliver's directing and writing credits include, Where in the World is Ginny? (Swan Theatre, Worcester), A Masked Ball in Venice (UK Tour) and Frozen Jr for Kidzrus.

He will be Associate Director for our production of The Whirligig of Time which will start its UK tour at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024 and he will direct the revival of Shakespeare's Fool in 2025-26.
