What's ken really like?
“Whether you’re at the Kings’ Theatre or a sat in a Festival Fringe car park, if you’re in the audience at a Ken Alexander production you will not fail to be captivated by his directorial flair and creative spirit. Ken’s reputation as an empathetic actor’s director, regardless of whether he’s creating work with a leading player or a graduate company, makes him very much in demand. Moreover, Ken’s laser focus on delivering an electrifying audience experience transcends subject matter and setting: from the dark intensity of The Signalman to the doric fun of Aye, Elvis!, through the timeless reimagining of Tally’s Blood to the charming wit of a no-nonsense Cinderella. From Sondheim to The Slab Boys, from Plymouth to Pitlochry, Ken Alexander’s resume of hit productions as both resident and freelance director is the envy of many of his peers. A consummate professional, commercially astute and inspirational collaborator, Ken’s equally adept at crafting first-class productions for the nation’s major stages as for the intimacy of Oran Mor.”
