Mike has been involved with Bawds almost as long as he has been a member of The Penguin Club, his earliest contribution being to assist in building the set for EQUUS - as he puts it 'too long ago to remember'. Since then, and perhaps spurred on by the chance of more nudity on the Cambridge stage, Mike has participated, many times as Stage Manager, in over a dozen other Bawds productions including . For many years Mike stage managed Bawds outdoor productions at St Edmund's College.
