His first taste of real drama occurred when he attended
In subsequent years he performed with the Rutland 3 Arts Group and the Ashton Hayes Theatre Company in
It was in 1988 that he met Richard Coleman on a school exchange and they’ve been great friends ever since. Richard & Fred, along with John Capper (another teacher and lighting expert), formed The Really Useless Theatre Company. From 1990 to 2002 they co-produced twelve successful pantomimes involving ninety plus members and raised over £10,000 for local charities. After their fourth production, Richard informed Fred it was his turn to write the next one. And so in 1994 he began to write the first of four scripts, Sleeping Beauty.
In 2003 they decided it was time for a change and turned their attention to staging melodramas and farces. Next year will be The Really Useless Company’s final production The Scramblings at Spriggly Torch. After that Fred hopes to start writing once again.
