Hi! I’m Oliver, an entertainment producer and theatre-maker based in the United Kingdom. My work embodies innovation, artistry, and the highest standards of production excellence.
With over a decade of professional experience in the performance industry, I have developed unmatched expertise in creating unforgettable experiences, even within the most unconventional and challenging spaces.
I’ve been lucky over this time to build a jam-packed little black book of top-level industry performers, artists, and creative collaborators. The next natural step for me was to create Plug&Play Productions.
My dual background as both a performer and producer enables me to seamlessly balance compelling audience engagement with flawless logistical execution. From managing the complexities of corporate clients to transforming non-traditional venues into dynamic, immersive stages, with Plug&Play, I aim to bring innovative visions to life with precision and flair.
I can't wait to see what we create together!

Our design process for creating live shows begins with a detailed consultation to align on vision and concept. We then move into research and ideation, developing mood boards, storyboards, and initial sketches to shape the show’s aesthetic and tone. For the creative direction, we design and write original content, alongside soundscapes and animatics, ensuring each element supports the overall narrative and audience experience.
The process involves constant refinement and collaboration, working closely with senior leaders and technical teams to ensure the final result is a seamless, immersive experience that meets the project’s objectives.
We believe that good value lies in continued collaboration, so we are always available to assist with any questions or adjustments that arise after the main project phase.
Depending on your needs, this can include follow-up consultations, troubleshooting, updates, or enhancements to existing work. These services can be offered on a retainer basis or as one-off support sessions, providing flexibility to match your ongoing requirements.
