Recent screen credits include: Mood (BBC); This Is Going To Hurt (BBC), A Bird Flew In and Everything Now (Netflix). Daniel’s debut play, The Canary And The Crow, which he both wrote and starred in, opened to a critically acclaimed run at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival before embarking on a UK tour and winning the 2020 George Devine Award. His theatre writing has gone from strength to strength, with Everything I Own, Ribena and Tactile Nature enjoying critically-acclaimed runs at Hull Truck Theatre, Theatre Royal Stratford East and Theatre Centre respectively. Daniel most recently finished leading Tambo And Bones, in the role of Bones, at Theatre Royal Stratford East and leading The Architect as part of the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival. Both projects were directed by Matthew Xia. “The transitory nature of theatre means we do our best as artists to create moments that resonate with people and live long in their memories. Sometimes that happens, often it doesn't. But with T&B people have never stopped asking me about it. More than just ask - people have wanted to debate, dissect and argue. They have passionately told me all the ways in which the show moved them. They have told me that they have never forgotten the show and never will. What is special about returning is honouring those experiences and what is exciting is the opportunity to create new memories with new audiences that hopefully last a lifetime.”
