About me

My first full length play Pure O was performed at the Kings Head Theatre. I then went on to adapt Blood Wedding, Metamorphosis, Faust and Thebes for The Faction, Thebes going on to be published by Bloomsbury/Methuen.

 

I wrote The Wonderful Discovery of Witches in the County of Lancaster for Dawn State which was performed at the Pleasance Courtyard and toured nationally. My play Alkaline was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize and my play The Rub was one of the winners of Bolton Octagon's Top 5 competition.

 

My latest play Sick Children Karaoke was longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award and Bruntwood Prize and was shortlisted for the Royal Shakespeare Company's 37 Plays competition.
