Welcome to my official website! My name is Steve Purbrick, and I am a seasoned actor with a career spanning 40 years in the dynamic worlds of stage, screen, and museum theatre. My journey in the performing arts has been a blend of passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to storytelling.
Early Beginnings and Training
My love for acting took root at a young age, following voice and acting training at Chapter Arts, and later training at the Royal Welsh College with the Recharge scheme. These formative experiences equipped me with a strong foundation in performance techniques, which I have continually honed over the years. Embracing every role with enthusiasm and dedication, I have evolved into a versatile actor capable of bringing a wide range of characters to life.
Television and Film
In television and film, I have had the privilege of working on an array of projects, from historical dramas to modern series. My versatility as an actor has enabled me to take on diverse roles, each presenting its own unique challenges and rewards. Some of my most notable appearances include lead and supporting roles in critically acclaimed productions, where I have collaborated with some of the industry's most respected figures. Each project has enriched my experience and deepened my understanding of the craft.
Stage Performances
The theatre holds a special place in my heart, with its unique ability to create an immediate and intimate connection with the audience. Over the past four decades, I have portrayed a multitude of characters across a broad spectrum of genres, from the timeless works of Shakespeare to contemporary pieces. My stage performances are marked by a deep commitment to authenticity and a passion for bringing stories to life in a way that resonates with audiences.
Museum Theatre and Historical Interpretation
Beyond traditional acting roles, I have cultivated a passion for historical interpretation and museum theatre. This niche has allowed me to merge my love for history with my performance skills, creating immersive and educational experiences. I am one of the founding members of the interpretation staff at Llancaiach Fawr Living History Museum. As a museum professional, I have developed and participated in programs that bring history to life, engaging and educating audiences of all ages through interactive and dynamic presentations.
Commitment to Excellence
As a proud member of Equity, I have served three terms on the Equity Welsh National Committee, advocating for the rights and welfare of actors. My tenure on the committee reflects my dedication to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and my commitment to the performing arts community. I believe in the power of collaboration, respect, and continuous learning, and I strive to embody these values in all aspects of my work.
