About

I am an actor, playwright and theatre facilitator based in the south of England. I strive to make work that responds to a need, that is community centred and creates opportunity. For me, theatre is at its most powerful when it has an off-stage aim, even if that aim is just to have a laugh.

I believe that theatre should be:

  • Accessible - Theatre is for everyone. I want to take the time to make that conviction true.

  • Diverse - Both visibly and invisibly. Not just to tick a box, but because it’s right.

  • Compassionate - To myself, cast, creatives, audiences, participants…. everyone.

  • Fun - It’s called a play for a reason.

I’ve previously been supported by the Royal Court Theatre (Playwrighting group), the National Youth Theatre, The Pappy Show (Mentee), Mrs C’s collective (The Writers Collective), London Playwrights’ workshop, Potsmouth Guildhall (Associate Artists ‘21-’22).

My work has been shortlisted for the Phil Fox award in Playwrighting, and has been performed in conjuction with: the National Youth Theatre, Bethany Cooper productions, Mrs C’s Collective, Yellow Coat Theatre, and The Corona Virus Theatre Club.

Writing for Performance Workshop

Portsmouth Guildhall

A totally free 2 hour workshop for adults looking to explore writing for performance. We’ll be using photographs and memory to create short performances which may be stand alone pieces or the seed of a bigger idea. No playwrighting or acting experience is necessary and there’ll be no pressure to perform.
