Current Projects

I have been fortunate to have been involved in several projects in the past few years, many of which involve verbatim techniques and the lived experience of real people.

Dog

2026

I was approached by the puppet designer and maker Kayla Teodoro to adapt Dog by Rob Perry.

When 18-year-old Benjamin Glass goes to look at a dead whale that has washed up on the beach, he meets an unfamiliar dog who follows him home to his caravan. Benjamin isn’t equipped to take care of a dog – he has a chronic fear of germs, and is currently living alone while his grandmother is in hospital. But when a delivery driver recognises the dog as The Mighty Gary, the fastest greyhound in the country, and tells Benjamin about his unsavoury owners, Benjamin is forced to trust the stranger on his doorstep and devise a plan to keep Gary safe. As Benjamin becomes more attached to the dog, it becomes clear that his trust in the delivery driver may well have been misplaced. He will have to leave his comfort zone, take some unhygienic risks, cross paths with dangerous and powerful men and confront his very worst fears if he has any hope of protecting what he loves the most.

Dog goes to R&D in January 2027 with St George’s Theatre and The Seagull Theatre.

FOUND

2025

I was commissioned by Elevator Arts to create a piece of theatre for and with children who predominantly speak English as an additional language.

Through a series of workshops, we explored the kinds of stories the children wanted to tell, focusing on themes of tradition, home, and connection. They learned how to devise scenes, experiment with puppetry, and bring their ideas to life using props and performance.

Drawing on their creativity and imagination, I then had the joy of shaping their ideas into a complete play, written especially for them.

The play was staged at Towngate Theatre Basildon and Palace Theatre Southend in July 2025.

The Farm

I was a Mercury Theatre playwright 2023/24 writing a play about the eviction of Travellers from Dale Farm in Essex.

In order to research this piece, I watched many documentaries, I read and spoke with the journalist Katharine Quarmby who wrote “No Place to Call Home” about the eviction, from that book I managed to get into contact with Father Dan Mason who is the priest that assisted the Travellers and held verbatim interviews with him.

I also attended Mass at his church to get a better understanding of Catholicism. At the church I was introduced to a lady who lived through the eviction and is still a resident on the legal side of Dale Farm.
She has become a firm friend and was extremely generous to give her time and story to me and that of her friends and family.

2023 - ONGOING

Release

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been recently commissioned to work alongside the very talented Blown Fuse on their new project Release supported by Arts Council England.

Release was developed in response from workshops with women with lived experience of the criminal justice system (via Advance Charity). The play asks if the UK prison system is working for women.

Directed by Michelle Barrington with Dramaturgy from Eleanore Frances, a cast of 5 immensely talented actors brought the play to life in a WIP showing at Metal Southend and Harlow Playhouse. 

In 2024-25, I will be joining the Blown Fuse Team to deliver creative workshops in women’s prisons, findings from which will inform the development of the rest of the play.

2024 - ONGOING

Fight or Flight

The Minack Theatre (2021)

Outcast from the village Syd and Abi must fight each day to survive. Adapted to their surroundings of the wild cliffs they have become more feral than ever before. They have a plan to steal the biggest Jewel arriving to market, if this works, they can spread their wings and fly away. But with the village hot on their heels to drive them out of town they may be about to lose it all.

Find Me

The Vaults Waterloo (2020)

Alone in a city when family ties are lost or broken, how do you find your voice in the dark? This is a play about finding meaningful connection in the modern world and discovering this in the least expected places. From drunken voice-noting to communal tables at Wagamamas and accessing God in Ikea. Using non-naturalistic storytelling techniques of direct address, physicality and spoken word, two performers declutter their minds and experience the power of female friendship.
