Writing
I’m a multi-award-nominated writer working across theatre, screen, radio and games. I’m currently attached to Soho Theatre as part of their Studio Writers’ Group. I’m also part of a Writers’ Room for The Wandsworth Way, a weekly radio play created in collaboration with James Fitz and Theatre 503.
My debut play, Jockstrap, was nominated for The Bruntwood Prize, the Women’s Prize for Playwriting, Bold Theatre’s Playwright Development Scheme, RSC’s 37 Plays Scheme and the Traverse Writer in Residence Scheme.
I’ve had plays and extracts performed at Theatre 503, The Marylebone Theatre, The Ivy House, Salford Arts Centre, and more.
I’m currently developing a new play, Is That All There Is? in collaboration with The Production Exchange, as well as my first feature.
See below for an outline of some of my writing. If you’d like to read my work, feel free to get in touch - I’d love to hear from you!

Is That All There Is?
Stage Play - In Development
R&D @ The Production Exchange, scratch @ Marylebone Theatre
'Is That All There Is?' explores the human condition, touching on themes of love, loss, and existential questioning. Through fragmented scenes and raw dialogues, the play delves into the complexities of relationships and the pervasive sense of searching for meaning in life, leaving audiences to ponder the titular question.
Is That All There Is? is a raw, tender, and often funny look at the things that connect us — love, loss, confusion, and the quiet search for meaning in a noisy world overloaded with choice. Told through a series of fractured but interconnected scenes, the play reveals a cast of characters all living in the same universe, all reflecting a different facet of what it means to be human, leaving audiences to ponder the titular question.
Jockstrap
Stage Play
R&D @ The Production Exchange and BOLD Theatre
Nominated for The Bruntwood Prize, the Women’s Prize for Playwriting, Bold Theatre’s Playwright Development Scheme, RSC’s 37 Plays Scheme and the Traverse Writer in Residence Scheme.
Jockstrap is made up of a collection of scenes derived from real experience that interrogate what it looks like to experience microaggressions, the bystander effect and gaslighting. The play offers no value judgements: rather, it questions what we can all do not only to recognise how we may all perpetuate rape culture, but also have an honest conversation about how to tackle it. Stylistically, Jockstrap is heavily inspired by Alice Birch’s BLANK and Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information.
It is an ensemble-based piece, with few delineated characters or casting requirements (eg. age, sex, race.) All of my opening stage directions are only suggestions that allow for scenes to be rearranged or omitted based upon time constraints, personal taste, and available performance space.

1649. Two crafty rogues make their way back to Scotland following the beheading of King Charles I. However, many of the best laid schemes gang aft a-gley. A historically 'accurate' comedy.
