One Hundred Percent
by Precarious Theatre

Liam is a Bristol born director and composer and a founding member of Precarious Theatre. Involved in all aspects of theatre from a young age, his directorial debut came with Precarious Theatre and Biasioli's Failure Studies at the GM Fringe 2021. In 2022, Liam received his PhD for his research into how combinations of music and theatre can communicate political ideas. As a director, he seeks to develop productive collaborative relationships with his cast, constructing the basis for innovation to spark throughout the rehearsal process. Drawing on influences both theatrical and musical, he aims to access the humanity of theatrical work, embracing the complex and the absurd to draw out that which can speak to an audience in compelling and engaging ways.

Born in Rome, Marco lived in London and Moscow before relocating to Manchester, where he completed his PhD in Russian contemporary music at the University of Manchester and is a lecturer in Russian and East European Studies. A founding member of Precarious Theatre, his plays examine the relationship between humans and society through the exploration of themes such as work, technology, and the complexity of living together in contemporary society. He has had work performed at the Greater Manchester, Camden, and Edinburgh fringes, receiving plaudits from audiences and critics alike.

Ben is an actor and writer born in South-West London, who has been developing theatrical work since his time at the University of Edinburgh. Whilst studying for an MA in Philosophy & Politics, specializing in discourse around the Arts, Ben participated in multiple productions that premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, ranging from musicals to hard-hitting original writing. He sees himself as more than just an actor; being deeply passionate about stories that can shape the world around us and art that speaks universally. This led him to conceive of One Hundred Percent, his playwriting debut which will be produced by Precarious Theatre this year, a company with whom he shares the same love of thought-provoking theatre; believing that 'art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed'.

David has also performed at venues such as the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool, The Dancehouse in Manchester, and at Blackpool's famous North Pier. He joined Precarious Theatre after our debut production, Failure Studies, and has embraced the opportunity to develop his creative voice with a freedom, he believes, is rare in the industry.
