Credits there included The Bacchae directed by Michael Cacoyannis, on Broadway and  Richard the Third with the American Shakespeare Company. He returned to London to play a leading role at The National Theatre opposite Alan Bates. An invitation by the Actors Studio New York, brought him back to the US to play the co-lead, as Prince Felix Yussopov, in Rasputin opposite Peter Stormare, who was then Ingmar Bergman’s leading actor. Then played the lead in Tabloid Caligula at the Brits Off-Broadway at 59E59th St theatre.

Peter has worked in different theatrical forms including with dance companies (Public Theatre, NYC), and Multimedia Theatre (the Pompidou Centre, Paris). This experience has led to an eclectic taste and to an openness to experimentation between the forms. In 2001 he formed the Playground Studio set in a large warehouse space in west London so that this experimentation could have a home. It was conceived as an arena for artists to explore new theatrical ideas without the need to rush headlong into product with the obvious danger of leaving potent ideas half-baked. Awards won included the Samuel Beckett Award with performances at the Barbican. The Playground Theatre opened, as a theatre, in November 2017 with Picasso in which he played Picasso. The Playground has hosted many great emerging artists as well as luminaries like Stephen Berkoff, Brian Cox, Maureen Lipman, and Nina Conti
