Spectrum Drama was founded in 1987 by Geraint Thomas to provide an educational theatre programme for the Science Museum in South Kensington.......

Now celebrating its 20th year, the Company is currently comprised of a team of over 50 actors plus AV experts, costume designers, writers and researchers. Company directors are Richard Hodder, Suzanne Rayner and Colin Uttley who between them have over 50 years experience in professional theatre and museums!

Richard Hodder

Richard worked in industry and was a lecturer in Business and Finance before he retrained as an actor. He has worked in the West End, on tours - both major and small scale - and appears regularly in adverts and voiceovers. He is also a director with credits ranging from Shakespeare to Ayckbourn and can also be found lecturing at Shakespeare's Globe - when Spectrum allows!

Suzanne Rayner

Suzanne has extensive theatre experience in touring productions, repertory theatre and in London's West End. Favourite roles in the theatre include Audrey in 'Little Shop of Horrors', Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream and the lead in the Noel Coward musical Bittersweet. She can be regularly heard on Radio 4 and the BBC World Service. She is also a qualified vocal coach.

Colin Uttley

Colin studied film at Falmouth School of Art where he divided his time between making films and fronting his band. He worked as an explainer at London's Science Museum and went on to become manager of Visitor Programmes and Head of Drama–and was promptly tempted over to the other side of the spotlights!

He has performed and lectured at The Royal Institution, Royal Albert Hall, Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford and many other major venues.
He has also published eight books on Science and Technology and written pieces for many publications including the Grolier Encyclopedia and the Guinness Book of Records.
