she/her
I'm a writer and theatre maker from the south coast, now based in London. I'm interested in work for stage and screen that blends genres and infuses comedy in unusual ways. I'm also particularly focussed on expanding representation for female and neurodivergent voices. My debut play GOBBY won the Best Theatre Weekly Award at Adelaide Fringe in 2020, and my new collaborative gig theatre piece DROP IT has been supported by The Lowry, The Lighthouse Poole and Arts Council England.
