Guy grew up in Southport, Lancashire. After reading Industrial Economics at the University of Nottingham, Guy studied theatre directing at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. Guy worked as Assistant and Associate Director on numerous productions in the West End and at the Royal Shakespeare Company before establishing himself as an international theatre director.

His freelance career now spans a wide range of genres, from new musicals to Shakespeare, and his writing work is primarily focused around adapting existing titles for the stage.

Guy is a co-bookwriter with Alain Boublil (LES MISÉRABLES, MISS SAIGON) for the 2012 revival of MARGUERITE, and devised the narrative for the West End hit COOL RIDER. In 2016, he was part of the team behind the private 90th Birthday Celebrations for Her Majesty the Queen.
