About
Christian is an actor, playwright and comedian based in Edinburgh. He graduated the University of Cambridge in 2024, before attending Rose Bruford, at which he worked with the Tron’s Irina Brown on Chekhov’s Three Sisters, and went on expedition to Wroclaw’s Grotowski Institute. Independently, Christian operates his own company, Pique Theatre, whose first project (the self-written Gross Domestic Product) was shortlisted for the Peter Shaffer Postgraduate Award for Playwriting.
Having been described at a young age as a “general force for chaos”, Christian centres his theatrical practice around new approaches to comedic, and often political writing and performance. Whilst at school, Christian featured in a number of productions of Shakespeare and new writing as directed by Joanne Pearce and Adrian Noble of the RSC, and carried this love for classical and contemporary theatre into his further education. At the University of Cambridge, he was CUADC’s Actors’ Representative, and featured in over fifty productions, featuring the Bobby Award-winning Trial by Jury, Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, and writing the Cambridge Footlights Pantomime. In his spare time, Christian is an accredited orchestral percussionist, amateur organist, and fencer.
