About me

I am a playwright, and trained actor from London. I am co-founder of theatre company SoulSpire Arts. We create raw and emotive dramas in theatre using poetry and movement a lot of the time with abstract elements. We like to create opportunities for new emerging writers by hosting annual themed scratch nights.

I am also a poet and have published a physical poetry pamphlet and also been published across online websites. My debut play 'Void' had a five-night run at The Space in 2023. Previous work includes short plays such as 'Questionable Love' and 'The Retreat' performed at scratch nights, and work-in-progresses for possible further development.

My writing focuses heavily on mental health, abstract and physical theatre elements, and stories which provoke change.

 

 

My Plays

Void


Synopsis:

"Space - unknown. Until I saw glimpses of scattered stars above calling out to me as flickers of hope. Not only did they shine, but stayed vacant in the sky to remind me that whilst I was bathing in this element of mine, I will find light where dark lives, and always a way to look up to...breathe"

We all have a choice, freedom, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Alisha, a passionate artist trapped in the clutches of an anxiety disorder, fights a battle to break free from the shackles of her mind as she discovers the liberating power of embracing her mental health.

Reviews:

Audience members reviews:

“Void is a play that examines mental health and the effects our internal struggles have on our outside world. It depicts the loneliness and fear which can come hand in hand with feeling like you are the only one who experiences these feelings. I can only hope that in the future more theatre will begin to make space for the honesty of living with mental health struggles in the way Void does.”

\"You will definitely walk away thinking\"

\"It\'s awareness and everything. The acting was wonderful, the set design, the artistry\"
