Great moments require great moment-makers.
Revels in Hand exists because of the artists behind it: directors, writers, actors & performers who bring rare brilliance to every room.
The Founders
Lucy Eaton
Lucy trained at LAMDA before going on to play roles at the Donmar Warehouse, The Old Vic and on the West End. In recent years her role as “Lucy” in the surprise hit BBC comedy Staged brought critical acclaim. Alongside her work for Revels in Hand, she hosts Hear Me Out, a podcast that asks actors to describe their favourite theatrical speeches and any juicy backstage insights from behind the boards.
Melanie Fullbrook
Mel is a director and actor who trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She has directed at venues including Hampstead Theatre, Theatre Royal Bath and Stratford East and works as an acting coach for clients across Netflix, HBO and the BBC. As an actress herself, she once had to shave off all her hair to play the lead in Arthur's Miller's Playing for Time!
Freddie Hutchins
Freddie trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and since then has paired acting with a role as Editorial Manager and Assistant Producer for Acamar Films. As well as acting for Revels in Hand, Freddie is resident keeper of the costumes, ensuring that the beautiful outfits we use in our shows stay spick and span.
But that’s not all, obviously.
Revels in Hand works with a core group of actors, stylists, directors and writers to ensure that your vision is delivered. Your star performers’ previous credits will include: Netflix, BBC, the RSC, National Theatre, the Globe and the West End.
