The performer
A Voice Built For Big Rooms
Julian joined Lumen straight from drama school and has barely left the stage since — nine seasons, forty-one roles, and a baritone the Gazette calls “the theatre's second foundation.” He learns scores the way other people learn phone numbers: completely, and overnight.
Off stage he leads the company's schools programme, taking abridged Shakespeare to thirty schools a year, and coaches the youth theatre's senior group on Monday nights.
