Hello!
I'm a writer for stage and screen. From 2023 - 2024 I was Writer in Residence at the National Theatre, where I am now under commission. My play THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR won the Papatango Prize in 2018 and was produced at Southwark Playhouse, followed by a UK tour. My next play THE MINISTRY OF LESBIAN AFFAIRS was on at Soho Theatre in May/June 2022 and transferred to the Kiln Theatre in June 2025 for another sell out run. I'm also working on commissions which include original plays and musicals for: a commercial theatre, the Almeida, Royal Court, English Touring Theatre, Clean Break and Papatango. I have also worked on several screen projects in the past and have some feature film projects in development.
