I am a playwright, dramaturg, and theatre-maker.

I am an Associate Playwright at the Royal Court Theatre in London. I am also the Young Writers Associate there, working towards developing the national landscape for young playwrights.

My play The Ballad of Maria Marten has toured three times and is published by Nick Hern Books. In 2024 it was NHB’s second most frequently performed play around the world.

I am an Associate Artist at Rabble Theatre Company in Reading, who have commissioned me to write several historical plays about the history of Reading Abbey. My play Henry I was in The Telegraph’s top 5 shows of 2023, and Spy in the Stalls’ Best Regional Show of the Year.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with many other wonderful companies such as Paines Plough, New Diorama, Rabble Theatre Company, The Watermill, and Eastern Angles.

I’m currently working on several new plays.

Upcoming

Rebellious Women, my play about the Suffragettes, will be published by Nick Hern Books in March 2025.
