CV
Christian has recently directed ZORRO with music by the Gypsy Kings at the Hope Mill Theatre and Hugh Whitemore’s BREAKING THE CODE at Salisbury Playhouse with Ed Bennett as Alan Turing.

Other work includes the new jazz musical
CAFÉ SOCIETY SWING at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, highlighting the story of the first racially-desegregated jazz club in NY, which helped launch the careers of singers like Billie Holliday and Lena Horne. The revival of QUAINT HONOUR, at the Finborough, won rave reviews, sold out and was nominated for an OFFIE Award. At the Union Theatre, Christian directed the story of Viv Nicholson and her tragic pools win, SPEND SPEND SPEND, and staged the first professional revival in the UK of Stephen Schwartz’s CHILDREN OF EDEN.

Christian is also an experienced Dramaturg and does confidential show doctoring on plays and musicals. Please email for further details.

reviews
BREAKING THE CODE
★★★★ “[An] absorbing, in-the-round revival by Christian Durham”, "The tensions between science and faith, human and machine buzz through its biographical detail.
It’s also an enduring plea for tolerance." - The Times

★★★★ "Christian Durham’s production features performances, direction and design that mesh perfectly. Durham moves his cast fluidly around James Button’s set" - The Stage

CAFÉ SOCIETY SWING
​​★★★★★​​ "Down lighting and plenty of dry ice evoke the atmosphere of a smoky nightclub, which fits in well with the regal yet intimate glamour of the Theatre Royal Stratford East."  - Spy in the Stalls
​
QUAINT HONOUR
★★★★ "The cast’s nuanced performances match the detail of the set, which perfectly evoke a sense of period and place...brilliantly realised" - Everything Theatre

SPEND SPEND SPEND
★★★★ "Christian Durham’s production brings it to thrilling 3D life" - The Stage

DEBBIE DOES DALLAS
"Debbie Does Dallas is a really feel-good show with no axe to grind. It’s directed with energy and wit by Christian Durham, adding a few theatrical in-jokes to the frothy confection." - The Stage
