Ed Borgnis – Technical Manager

Ed takes a lead on making sure the spaces we work in are as accommodating as possible for incoming productions and their teams. He then provides support during show running, and for all staff throughout the year.

He’s keen on opportunities to tread lightly environmentally and lives for those barely-perceptible but unexpectedly devastating moments of sound design. Away from work, Ed is keen on being on or in water.

Ed is an experienced Production Manager and has looked after several shows at the Gate including Chimera, Trust, Dear Elizabeth, and Land Without Dreams (2019); programmes for Shubbak, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) and Harrow Club; as well as various archive and online projects including 2020’s Letters.

Ed has worked for the sound departments of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), The Royal Ballet, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe and Kiln Theatre. He has a postgraduate Engineering degree from University of Warwick and grew up in London and Norfolk.
