About

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

I am an Associate Playwright and Young Writers Associate at the Royal Court Theatre in London.

I am also an Associate Artist at Rabble Theatre Company in Reading, who have commissioned me to write several historical plays about the history of Reading Abbey.

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 under commission for two new plays, and working on a new musical with Amies and Clements. 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.

My play The Ballad of Maria Marten had its third UK tour in 2022 and is published by Nick Hern Books. It is available to licence for amateur performances and one of NHB’s most frequently performed plays around the world.

£25 on-the-day tickets for Death of England at Soho Place. Incredible acting, a really exceptional play. The sort of theatre that keeps me up at night because I can't stop thinking about it. Thank you @pessiedu @sohoplace @roysyboysy
There is no cut-off age limit for becoming a 'new writer'. A glorious day with the playwright Leela Selvon working on an early draft of her first play with a wonderful bunch of actors. A play so bonkers and unique that we basically chortled all day ?

A message from @rabble_theatre about Glitch. I'm so proud to be an Associate of this amazing company. The play touched on the very heart of who we are as a society, and I'm really hoping it has a future life. 📸 Annabel Crich Cast: Elizabeth Elvin
