Mike Hayhurst lives in Northampton. He works as the Director of a youth theatre. He trained as an actor but got into directing early on. He talks about a website called post secret where people anonymously send in secrets about themselves and so has decided to write things about himself on 27 envelopes and will throw them into crowd, each with a snippet of information about himself. Hopes people will talk to each other and try to piece him together, but doesn't plan on talking to people directly if they ask him questions. Talks passionately about his interest in people, how people represent themselves and about going about life passionately and enjoying the time you have.
