I am a playwright, director, educator and actor. My plays have won the Pittsburgh Public’s New Play Competition and the Louise Wigglesworth Award. I was shortlisted for the  Princess Grace Playwriting Fellowship, a finalist for The Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2024, a runner up for The Ambassadors Theatre Group Playwriting award 2024, a finalist for The O’Neill New Play Conference and many more. My plays have been presented and produced world-wide. My work wrestles with the urgency of storytelling in times of change, and the power of live performance as a vessel for truth, empathy, and human connection. Moxie Theatre in San Diego will be producing the world premiere of my play Lumin in February 2027 and my short screenplay Minnesota will go into production in September 2026. I will also be a part of The Distillery at Seattle Public Theatre in June 2026 where my play If nobody does remarkable things will have a reading. 

 

My acting work has seen me performing both in my native UK (West End, regional, UK national tours, and at The Edinburgh Festival) and in Philadelphia where I now live. My directing work specializes in re-imagining classic texts from Shakespeare to Chekhov and in new writing.  I directed The New Electric Ballroom by Enda Walsh, the US premiere of Stef Smith’s outstanding adaptation of Nora: A Doll’s House and Fly Me To The Moon by Marie Jones for Hedgerow Theatre. Most recently I directed The Moors by Jen Silverman at Ursinus College.

 

I was the founding producing artistic director of Tiny Dynamite where I produced over 20 productions ranging from one acts to international collaborations that employed groundbreaking technology for performance. I also work as an acting coach, sound designer, voice over artist and audiobook narrator.
