About me

At the heart of the New Forest, I am an artist shaped by stories, resilience, and a lifelong passion for creativity. My journey began with Forest Forge Youth Theatre, where I first discovered the magic of storytelling, weaving narratives that sparked connection and imagination. As I grew, I came to understand myself as an undiagnosed high-functioning autistic individual—a realization that illuminated my day-to-day experiences and taught me to embrace my unique perspective while acknowledging my limitations. This self-awareness led me to pivot toward supportive roles, where I could uplift others’ creativity with clarity and purpose. As a proud member of the National Youth Theatre and National Youth Arts Council, I honed my craft and commitment to the arts, later earning a 2:2 BA (Hons) in Stage Management—a foundation that grounded my technical and creative instincts. My time as Assistant Production Manager with Princess Cruises (2016–2020) allowed me to support artists worldwide, orchestrating unforgettable performances across global stages. Since COVID, I’ve prioritized my young family, taking time to re-evaluate my path and rediscover my voice through art. Now, rooted in the New Forest’s wild beauty, I’m channeling my experiences into creations that reflect my heart, my growth, and my unwavering love for storytelling.

My Plays

Gameshow @ The End of The World

Synopsis:

In the confines of a dilapidated cabin, Jackson Potter hosts surreal game shows, his charismatic facade crumbling under a fractured mind. Through Higher or Lower, Price Is Right, and a deadly This or That, he draws the audience into his unraveling reality, where a missing schoolgirl’s fate haunts his manic performances. Radio reports recast local tragedy as apocalyptic chaos, with “earthquakes” and “tsunamis” masking a manhunt closing in. As Jack’s games spiral to a devastating choice. "Gameshow @ The End of The World" is a gripping one-man descent into madness, where guilt and grief blur the line between truth and nightmare.
