About me

I am an actor-writer-performer-poet from and based in South London. I trained at the Guildford School of Acting on their MFA Acting program, Soho Theatre Writers' Lab, Soho Theatre Introduction to Character Comedy Lab and the Arvon Introduction to Playwrighting - where I was awarded a fully funded place.

My debut play ‘Ankle Swingers’ was performed at the Omnibus Theatre as part of the 97% Festival directed by Scott Le Crass. Other credits include 'The Famous Five', and ‘SUGA’ - written on Soho Theatre Writers’ Lab. The latter has been long-listed for the Theatre503 International Playwrighting Award.

With a fascination for surrealism and an interest in the witty absurdity of life, my works tightropes yet transcends the ordinary. Bringing my London and queer identities to the core, I aim to illuminate these voices in often unseen perspectives. With the goal of creating stories that encourage audiences to reconsider the worlds around them and explore the blindspots of the their experiences.

The Famous Five have an existential crisis (on the anniversary of their friends death)


Synopsis:

On the anniversary of their friend’s untimely death, four friends reunite on top of a hill. Meant to be in the prime of their lives, their twenties instead feel adrift in confusion, disillusionment, and disenfranchisement.

The arrival of a mysterious stranger, who bears an uncanny resemblance to their lost friend, unfolds a surreal journey through memory, imagination, and the cosmos itself. Forcing each of them to confront their deepest fears and their place within a disenfranchised world.
