The evocative works of Brian Daniels explore true life stories and complex issues with humour, humanity and genuine compassion.
Brian’s work is testament to his passion for justice and his ability to understand and portray people from all walks of life. At the heart of a truly versatile portfolio lies a keen eye for triumph in adversity: much of his work describes the very best of humanity enduring and overcoming the very worst of circumstances.
His ability to tackle tragedy and loss with tenderness and warmth has led to him being trusted to tell some truly remarkable stories, and many of his plays stand as a tribute to the legacy of some extraordinary real life heroes.
Brian has been commissioned to write plays by a number of health and social care organisations, including the NHS, to commemorate not only their work and achievements, but also – extraordinarily - to explore the human impact of systemic failure on individuals and families. This has led to the development of ancillary educational resources, drawn from his plays, intended to support professional reflection and improve practice across a wide range of health and social care disciplines including end of life care and patient choice.
Between 1997 and 2011 Brian was Artistic Director of the New End Theatre, Hampstead where he produced more than 200 new plays, musicals and cultural events.
He was concurrently Artistic Director of the Shaw Theatre, Euston where he produced larger scale theatrical events and concerts with artists including Eartha Kitt, Elaine Stritch, Alison Moyet, Michel LeGrand, Michael Feinstein, Elaine Paige, Gloria Gaynor, Boy George, Dionne Warwick, Chita Rivera and numerous others. Many of these concerts toured the UK. He was also Artistic Director of the New Players Theatre, London and the Grace Theatre, Battersea. He is currently Artistic Director of the New End Theatre Beyond.
He is a Board member of the Royal Victoria Hall Foundation and a Board Member of Phoenix Dance Theatre, Leeds.
