He trained as an actor, working in regional theatre and the West End, before receiving his MFA in Theatre Directing at Birkbeck, University of London. Following roles with Watford Palace Theatre, The Globe, and Theatre503, he became Associate Director of Jermyn Street Theatre, directing critically-acclaimed revivals of Ibsen’s Little Eyolf and Charles Morgan’s The River Line, and the first UK stage production of Beckett’s All That Fall with Michael Gambon and Eileen Atkins (Associate Director to Trevor Nunn – West End and 59E59). As Artistic Director of JST, credits include John Van Druten’s First World War classic Flowers of The Forest, Lillian Hellman’s The Autumn Garden, and the UK Premiere of Lee Tannen’s I Loved Lucy (West End and New York).
Anthony was invited to become Co-Artistic Director of The Playground Theatre, converting a former bus garage in West London into a unique performance space. Focusing on development and inter-disciplinary collaborations, allied with his passionate belief in the civic role of theatre, he quickly forged a reputation for bold and innovative practice, and The Playground became home for artists such as Steven Berkoff, Rosy Chan, Brian Cox and Sophie Ward. Projects include Shirleymander, a political satire about gerrymandering, played in traverse ‘House of Commons’ layout, Damage Control, an immersive audio experience amongst life-sized bronze sculptures, The Great Bear, a ‘wrap-round’ ballet-theatre hybrid, Still Avoiding Tomorrow – a binaural sound event with multiple narrative pathways, created with indie band Bastille, The Paradise Circus, the UK premiere of James Purdy’s American Gothic tale, staged in a circus format, and Soldier on, an acclaimed play about PTSD performed by a diverse cast of military veterans and professional actors. Alongside productions, Anthony created a comprehensive outreach programme, supporting the local community of North Kensington, including an award-winning mental health project in partnership with St Charles Hospital, and an education project with local schools supporting Nicolas Kent’s acclaimed verbatim production of Grenfell: Value Engineering.
In 2024 Anthony founded Well Played Arts Collective, to bring together his passion for both professional and community arts projects on a local and international scale. First projects include Execution of Justice, a celebration of LGBTIA+ culture and history, with special guest, writer and director Emily Mann, a NYC site-specific production of David Hare’s Via Dolorosa in partnership with Playhouse Creatures, and Well Said, a series of community playreading workshops in partnership with local libraries, supported by Royal Court Theatre and NT.

Her career while at the University of Kansas when she was cast as Nancy Clutter in the film of In Cold Blood. She went on to play Pooh Percy in The World According to Garp with Robin Williams. Other films include Taps, Reds, and the cult classic C.H.U.D and more currently, Daughter of the Bride, and the just released Grounded in Love. Brenda has worked extensively in the theater, receiving an OBIE Award for her work in Wendy Kesselman’s My Sister in this House. She is acclaimed for her performances based on Eudora Welty’s stories, “Sister and Miss Lexie” and “A Fire Was In My Head,” adaptations developed in collaboration with director and co-adapter, David Kaplan. Always drawn to the work of Tennessee Williams, along with scads of Williams’ one-acts and short story adaptations, she played Violet Venable in Suddenly Last Summer, Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, Cornelia Scott in “Something Unspoken.” Working with Irene Glezos in Orpheus Descending and the Jane Bowles play, In the Summer House led to joining forces in the formation of Moon Lake Productions. Together they produced The Rose Tattoo at the Provincetown TW Festival, Heisenberg and A Perfect Ganesh at Theaterlab. Working behind the scenes to support artists such as Irene and Joseph (Rodriquez) and director Anthony Biggs, is continuation of utter pleasure.
