About me
I am a British-born writer of Malaysian-Chinese heritage and my writing centers on the BESEA experience.
My first full-length stage-play 'Down Side Up' is semi-autobiographical, was developed on the Soho Theatre Writers' Lab 2022/23 and it is inspired by my sister who has Down's Syndrome. It was a finalist in the Bush Theatre Open Call 2024, reached the top 20% of the Papatango Prize 2024 and was long-listed for the Women in Theatre Lab 2024.
My second full-length play was written on the Royal Court Theatre’s Introduction to Playwriting group 2023/24. 'The Hungry Ghost' is a queer horror romance inspired by Chinese supernatural beliefs. It was selected for the New Earth Theatre Writers Plus Academy for a week’s intensive redrafting workshop and I am currently working on the third draft.
I am passionate about stories that are set in unique, highly personal worlds with characters who find joy in unusual places and introduce audiences to new perspectives.
