​An award-winning writer on attachment with the Bristol Old Vic Theatre and part of Creative England & BFI’s South West Talent Module.

 

I am currently writing my first novel with the generous support of the Arts Council England

​

I was the playwright for Hope Street's collaboration with National Museums Liverpool to accompany their landmark exhibition 'China's First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors'. I recently collaborated with Open Attic Theatre Company to turn my original children's story 'The Star Shiners' into a touring children's show

 

My work has been performed in venues across the UK including the BAC, Soho Theatre, Pleasance Theatre, The Lowry, The Albany, Tobacco Factory, Rich Mix, The Wardrobe, Buxton Opera House, Old Red Lion, Tristan Bates, National 

Museums Liverpool and Tara Arts.

I have worked with companies including The National Youth Theatre, Coney, Hope Street, Jericho House Theatre Company, Open Attic Theatre Company and Handheld Arts. I was a former member of the National Youth Theatre and Shine Drama's emerging writers programme, and alumni of the Soho Theatre Young Writers programme. 

 

I have a background in collaborative and devised theatre, with a Masters Degree from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I also work as a storyteller and creative writing workshop leader, and am happy to discuss bespoke projects.
