  • The Director’s Chair: Tom Freeman on Creativity, Chaos & Comedy!

    The Director’s Chair: Tom Freeman on Creativity, Chaos & Comedy!
    Apr 6 2025

    In this episode of Things That Move Me, I’m joined by the brilliant and hilarious Tom Freeman - student director of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and Jekyll and Hyde at the Oxford Playhouse.


    We dive into the art and inspiration behind directing - from the chaotic beauty of comedy to the deep emotional pull of storytelling. Tom opens up about what drives him, what he’s learned from working with actors, and where he sees himself in the world of the arts after Oxford University.


    It’s a conversation full of laughs, insight, and the kind of moments that remind you why we fall in love with the stage - and why telling stories still matters. Expect behind-the-scenes gems, a few tales from The Half Moon… and an incredible Winston Churchill impression from Tom.


    Good stories. Great inspiration. Even better company. 🎭

  • The Call of the Wild: Creativity, Art and Nature

    The Call of the Wild: Creativity, Art and Nature
    Mar 24 2025
    What is it about nature that inspires the greatest art? Why do so many artists, writers, and visionaries seek solitude in forests, on mountaintops, by the ocean? What is this need to escape, to step away from the noise of the world and return to something more primal, untamed, real?
