As a schoolboy, Bradley forged an enduring bond with Clive Barker, a partnership that would prove to be a defining aspect of his life and career.

In the 1970s, Bradley and his close friend Clive Barker co-founded the innovative theatre group "Dog Company", a collective that aimed to push the boundaries of creative expression.
