About

I love stories that provoke, question and imaginatively explores the human experience. Both the page and the stage can take you anywhere.

I’ve come to writing from theatre directing (training at University of Kent and Rose Bruford College) and even when directing I rarely just directed a play. I would often re-arrange the text where I could or design the show as well or when adapting a story for a workshop with children, I’d ensure their own imaginations were incorporated into the work.

I was Assistant and then Associate Director at Apocryphal Theatre where the line between director, creator and performer blurred as we used a range of improvisational techniques, creating a new play every night or testing out ideas in our laboratory. All this means that I have a true grasp of story-telling, and what’s possible with a little imagination.

Theatre audiences and readers have described my writing as surreal, lyrical, brave, beautiful and magic realist in style. I like to take my audience on an adventure delving into complex stories, treating them in an imaginative way.

My plays have been performed at New Diorama Theatre, King’s Head Theatre, Theatre503, Omnibus Theatre, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre, Camden People’s Theatre and The Actor’s Temple, London. My play The Future is Mine was shortlisted for the Introduce Yourself Festival at Finborough Theatre in 2018.

My plays The Last Request and The Birdcatcher were published in BRAND Literary Magazine.

My flash fiction Traitor was published on storieswithpictures.org.

I have very few photos of my stage work, so commissioned Andy Winter, an artist living in Brighton, to create the illustrations on this site to give you a flavour of the pieces. Check out his website Winter Draws On for more examples of his work.
