About me

I'm Alex! I'm a Jewish, London-based playwright and actor.

I'm fascinated by myths, folklore and the traditions of storytelling, and as well as using my writing to explore themes such as heritage, identity, self-actualisation, existentialism and historic/artistic depictions of mental health through larger-than-life stories.

I also love any play with dumb jokes or dogs.

My Plays

Enter, Pursued


Synopsis:

Written entirely in iambic pentameter, Enter, Pursued follows the famous 'Bear' from
Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale', as he desperately tries to relive a past he never
really had.

A surreal comedy-drama about the ways we see and cope with depression: From
ancient myths, to Elizabethan England, to modern day - 'Enter, Pursued' is an
absurdly humourous look at nostalgia, self-destruction and a grief for the lives you
never got to live.
