I am primarily a musical theatre writer (book, music and lyrics), who is keen to explore writing in other fields (plays, devised theatre).

I am a resident artist at York Theatre Royal and the Cameron Mackintosh Composer in Residence at the National Theatre of Scotland.

For my work on Pieces of String, I won The Stage Debut Award for Best Composer/Lyricist, and was nominated for a Writer’s Guild of Great Britain award for Best Musical Theatre Bookwriting. The show was named The Stage’s Best Regional Musical of the year and was nominated for the UK Theatre Best Musical Production award.
