David Shopland
I am Artistic Director of Fake Escape Theatre, based in the UK. I am a producer/director with over a decade of experience. I have produced over 40 professional productions on 3 continents; from West End venues to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2011 I set up Blind Tiger Theatre, an actor musician company whose productions include the 2013 Riverside Studios Christmas show ‘The Little Mermaid’. In 2013, I set up Fake Escape Theatre, a company that champions new writing initiatives working with underrepresented demographics aged under 30. As a freelance producer, I have worked with Trafalgar Studios in The West End, Bath Fringe Festival, Bristol Pride and The National Theatre of China. I have also lectured in theatre at Bath Spa University and Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance.
