Brice Stratford is an English director and actor-manager.

He has worked primarily in classical and Shakespearean theatre, particularly with the Owle Schreame theatre company, which he founded in 2008.[1][2] He received an Off-West End award in 2013,[3] and established the Owle Schreame Awards in 2014.[4]

The Owle Schreame theatre company[]

Stratford founded the Owle Schreame theatre company in 2008 in Cambridge. In 2011 he produced, directed and performed in Measure for Measure on the site of the former Rose Theatre.[5][6] In 2013 the company's "Cannibal Valour" programme at St Giles-in-the-Fields in Camden consisted of The Unfortunate Mother by Thomas Nabbes (1640) and two other Renaissance plays,[7] Honoria and Mammon by James Shirley (1659) and Bussy D'Ambois by George Chapman. Stratford played the title character in Bussy D'Ambois.[8] In 2015 the company performed Ralph Roister Doister, written in 1553 by Nicholas Udall and thought to be the earliest surviving English comedy, at the Bread & Roses pub in Clapham; Stratford played the title role.[9]
