Cradeaux Alexander is from Los Angeles, California and currently lives and works in London, UK ... though at heart he's probably a New Yorker. He studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and went on to work with seminal theatre artists Mabou Mines and Richard Foreman, all the while acting in film, TV and theatre and directing his own works. Directing highlights include premieres and radical interpretations of plays by Picasso, Beckett, Fassbinder, Ionesco and Mueller. After moving to London he obtained a PhD in fine art at Royal College of Art, with a special focus on the actor and performance art. Recent forays into directing for television and film include two seasons of the web series Doctor Theatre, short films Overture and Triptych, and his most recent piece, this feature film Inherit the Witch. His work has been the focus of BBC's nationwide Front Row programme, and CNN International's Amanpour programme. His series screenplay The Cult in the Wings was recently named as quarter-finalist for the Inroads Screenwriting Fellowship.
