Hey! I’m a writer and dramaturg originally from the US, now based in London. I was Methuen Drama’s most recent Commissioning Editor of Plays, meeting a diverse and exciting range of early to mid-career theatre-makers from all over the UK, US, Ireland and mainland Europe to add brilliant new work of varying styles and genres to the published canon. I performed in and wrote sketches for the Soho Theatre Comedy Lab: Sketch programme led by Tony Craze award-winning writer Fran Bushe in early 2020; my short piece SO I BLED was featured in the March 2020 Theatre503 ‘Rapid Write Response’ night responding to Gill Greer’s play Meat; I wrote a full-length play CANARY during the Royal Court Theatre’s Introduction to Playwriting group in spring 2023 led by playwrights Ross Willis and Yasmin Joseph. My full-length play Half a Sorrow (formerly titled IT COULD NEVER BE ME) was Longlisted for the BOLD Playwriting Prize 2024. I’m a die-hard lover of horror in its many iterations, and I find myself particularly drawn to new work of all kinds which stimulates the senses.
