Since graduating from Central, Matthew has gone on to work with established theatre companies such as Gilt and Grime where he performed in the production of How Much Do You Want It?, and also working with Out of Joint helping with the development of one of the company’s new scripts. He has also recently performed in a rehearsed reading of the new script, Stay With Me Till Dawn, with Second Skin Theatre at the Rosemary Branch Theatre. Matthew has recently co-founded Alea Theatre with other students from different postgraduate courses at Central School of Speech and Drama.

Matthew will soon be performing in Susanna, a piece of new writing that will be part of the MSFT Theatre Company’s (formerly Misfit Theatre Company) monthly event ‘Dyssing Monadays’; a festival that promotes dyslexic writers.
