ABOUT

Tobias is an artistic director of Scaffold Shakespeare Company and POH Productions, working internationally as an actor, director, university lecturer and workshop facilitator.

During the winter lockdown of 2020, Tobias directed an audio production of Peter Pan starring Kenneth Branagh, Olivia Colman, Sharon D Clarke and Bertie Carvel to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The production was rehearsed, recorded, mixed and fully-scored remotely and is available online at listentopeterpan.com.

Tobias has worked extensively as an actor in classical theatre in London, round the UK on tour and internationally in France, Greece and Cyprus. Since founding Scaffold Shakespeare Company in 2011, he has developed his skills as a director, specialising in Shakespeare but also in immersive performance (SPECIFIQ; Hammer House of Horrors: The Soulless Ones). Scaffold’s “Play out the Play” workshop series (covering the complete plays of Shakespeare) was awarded an Owl Schreame Award for Innovation in Classical Theatre, and Tobias has since led regular workshops for a range of institutions including the National Theatre of Northern Greece.

He trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, graduating in 2009 with a BA (Hons) in Acting. During his time there, he was awarded the Peter Coxhead scholarship and represented Mountview at The Sam Wanamaker Festival at The Globe. Tobias is a member of Equity.

Tobias lives in Isleworth, West London.
