Thank you for visiting my website.

I am a playwright and theatre director living in Hampshire. 

I am an Associate Artist at Reading Between the Lines  in Reading, for whom I'm writing two new plays this year. I have recently been nominated for an Off West End Award for Most Promising New Playwright 2018, for The Rebellious Women of Wimbledon with Attic Theatre Company.

I am currently a visiting Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, where the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP) is supporting my adaptation of Jonathon Porritt’s book, The World We Made, for 2019.

Last year The Glove Thief, commissioned by Tonic Theatre Company as part of their Platform Series, was published by Nick Hern Books. 

I also work regularly with The Watermill Theatre in Newbury and my adaptation of The Rivals was directed by Jonny Humphreys there in March.

The True History of Susanna Shakespeare was selected for the Tenancy scheme at Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, long-listed for the Papatango Prize  and short-listed for Bristol Old Vic Open Sessions.

Henry I of England received its world premiere in Reading in November 2016 and was featured in The Guardian, while its sequel, Matilda the Empress, was voted readers' top 20 shows of 2017 in the same paper. Hardboiled: The Fall of Sam Shadow, a co-production with The Watermill and Rhum and Clay Theatre Company, was nominated for two 2016 Off West End Awards (Best Director, Best Designer) and received five stars in TimeOut.

I originally trained and worked as an actress, while founding the new writing ensemble Debut Theatre Company, and was the Outreach Director at The Watermill Theatre in Berkshire, where I worked for seven years.
