About me

Writer & director making work across theatre & film. Currently working on a variety of new plays, including one exploring the plastic surgery tourism industry in Turkey, another following a cryptocurrency startup, and another about a young chef trying to re-invent herself and her food. I'm also working on a television show about the gaming industry, and a feature film about the platonic love story between James Baldwin and a Turkish actor called Engin Cezzar.
