Ed trained at the University of Manchester, and went on to an MA in Theatre Directing at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. He spent a year as Associate Director to Jamie Lloyd on the West End Trafalgar Transformed Season: The Pride, The Hothouse and Macbeth. Alongside the season Ed directed two short Pinter plays starring Andrew Scott, Joanna Lumley and Alun Armstrong. Ed’s work has been seen recently at the Harold Pinter Theatre, Shoreditch Town Hall, Soho Theatre and the BAC. He also directs comedy, most recently two award-winning shows by stand-up Joe Lycett, the Invisible Dot’s Birthday Gala at the Hammersmith Apollo and the world tour of YouTube sensations Dan & Phil (which played sold out shows at the London Palladium, the Dolby Theatre in LA and two nights on Broadway). Ed was one of the inaugural Old Vic 12 - a group of twelve emerging artists attached to the Old Vic Theatre under Matthew Warchus.
