About me
My writing focusses on blurring the boundaries between humanity and the natural world, telling stories from each side of that divide, both human and non-human.
My Plays
Corpselight
Synopsis:
“They’d be in the places they loved when they were alive - in the trees, the hollows, the hedgerows…Always in the form of a candle, and in the flame a face, and if you got close enough you could hear them whispering.”
A year after Paul died, Tom is searching for him in the strange blue flames that flicker and fade across the farm. His wife Kay is desperately trying to keep the business alive, whatever the cost to their marriage. But when their daughter Viv returns from the city, new partner in tow, secrets will be exposed and a devastating grief unleashed that could spell the family’s end. Corpselight is a profound meditation on rural lives, queer relationships and the changing face of England.
