Barrie Rutter - Founder & Artistic Director. Read Barries full biography here.



"He is the archetypal bluff Yorkshireman, a figure seemingly created in its own image by the land which bore him"
Harpers & Queen

"If someone ever creates an arts version of Mount Rushmore, they should carve it into the Pennines and chisel Barrie Rutter's imposing features in the foreground."

Conrad Nelson - Composer and Associate Director


Conrad's acting career now spans almost twenty years and boasts a vast body of work in theatre - widely in repertory and with companies such as Cheek by Jowl and Renaissance; and in television and film - most notably appearing in Dancing Thru The Dark and Much Ado About Nothing.

Conrad has also built a reputation as a dramatic composer and has written music for theatre, television and radio.

His longest association by far has been with Northern Broadsides - over ten years - as actor and Musical Director, and latterly credited on a number of productions as Assistant Director.

Now Conrad is the Associate Director of Northern Broadsides, with a remit to extend and develop the performance skills of the acting ensemble; discover and nurture new writing; and move into a repertoire beyond the Elizabethan and Greek classics that have been the company's staple.
