LOUIS CRAIG

Despite being put in a fairy dress in his stage debut at the age of eleven Louis decided
to continue treading the boards, he created the roles of ‘Peter’ in Ring Of Roses which
went onto The Savoy stage in London and ‘Mullen’ in Seize The Day as well as many
others for Darren Vallier, the man he considers to be his greatest influence and to whom
he will always be grateful.
He has also appeared on many original cast recordings for Darren’s musicals, most
recently
‘Theseus’. Many roles have followed for various companies including ‘The Beadle’
in Sweeney
Todd, ‘Diesel’ in West Side Story and ‘Jamie’ in My Fair Lady for Brighton
Theatre Group.
He also played ‘Cyril’ in Summer Holiday for BHOS and no less than seven parts in Little Me,
most notably ‘Lucky Malone’ and ‘Otto Schnitzler’ for Buxbaum Productions.
React Theatre Productions provided Louis with the opportunity to turn his hand to directing and
he will be forever thankful to Alan Skinner for giving him the chance to direct Blood Brothers
and Jekyll and Hyde, to write and direct If Life Were A Musical and to direct an award winning
production of Les Miserables.
