Writing
My writing has been staged at The Kings Head Theatre, RADA, The Yard Theatre, VAULT festival, and Bloomsbury Festival, among others.
I also write for screen, and have a number of scripts in development, including a pilot for an original comedy-drama series. Get in touch if you’d like to give it a read.
I am a script reader for a number of theatre festivals and write for various arts related publications. You can read some of my theatre criticism below.
If you are looking for a writer for a project, dramaturgical support, or for notes on a script, do get in touch.
Written for WHITE NOISE and performed by Tom Kelsey, this speech was runner up of The Mandy Monologue competition 2019.
