N.Irish playwright based in Edinburgh.

 

Debut play, The Shift, was shortlisted for the Theatre 503 Playwriting Award. Since then, I have written several short plays including Little Boxes (staged by Theatre 503/ Rapid Write Response) and How to Ride a Roller Coaster (runner up Pitlochry FT Short Play Award).

My second full length play, At a Stop, received development through script surgery with Playwrights’ Studio Scotland, The Tron’s Progressive Playwright Prog and The Lyric Belfast’s New Playwright’s Programme. I was then awarded her first commission by Sky Arts for Art50, for a political comedy play exploring NI’s loyalty to Britain. I then went on to write and develop Ash – a play exploring Ireland’s response to the direct provision of refugees into rural communities - through Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s Artist Residency.
 
Writing for screen includes horror short Derek vs The Evil Halloween Pigeon) produced for iPlayer by BBC NI/ Nice One Productions sketch comedy for series 6 of BBC Scotland/ Comedy Unit’s Scot Squad.
