About

I’m a British/Irish, London born and raised playwright with an MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have been writing for over ten years, telling empathetic multi-generational stories in an unconventional manner which look to find our common humanity. 

I have had work produced primarily for theatre at venues including Theatre 503, Camden People's Theatre, Bread & Roses Theatre, Tristan Bates Theatre, The North Wall Arts Centre, the Lyric Hammersmith, the Oldham Coliseum, the Oxford Playhouse, the Park Theatre and the Arcola Theatre.

My play It Is So Ordered was produced in April 2017 at the Pleasance Theatre in London and was developed on the Park Theatre’s Script Accelerator programme with support from Old Vic New Voices. The play was inspired by the true story of the longest serving African-American citizen to be exonerated from a crime they did not commit and set during the Harlem Race Riots. 

My next play Haste Ye Back was developed on the Soho Theatre Writer’s Lab and Criterion New Writer’s Group. The story was about the resettlement of Syrian refugees on the remote Isle of Bute in Scotland, where my family on my mother’s side come from. The play made it into the Top 3 of the ETPEP Award in 2019 and had a rehearsed reading at the Criterion Theatre in November 2022. 

Alongside my own writing I am a big advocate for enabling the creativity of others. This had led me to becoming a creative writing tutor with City Academy, teaching their Writing for Film and Creative Writing for Beginners courses. In addition to this, I am also a volunteer writing mentor with the Ministry of Stories a young people’s writing charity based in Hackney.
