About me

I'm a student playwright, director and actor based in Oxford! I have written and directed two shows, Someone Will Take Your Place (Moser Theatre, 2023) and Headliners (Michael Pilch Studio, 2025), and co-directed About Love (Burton Taylor Studio, 2024) , a new play by Sasha Ivanova. I am also the current Associate Director for the Jesus College Shakespeare Project, currently working on A Midsummer Night's Dream (dir. Peter Sutton) , while preparing to take our production of Romeo and Juliet on tour in South Wales. As co-founder of Coffee Cup Productions, I am always working on new scripts to produce and direct, and we will be taking a piece of new writing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer.

My Plays

Headliners


Synopsis:

Coffee Cup Productions’ second piece of new writing is a dark twist on your favourite 90’s rom com. It follows Jenny, a music journalist, and the group of artists she encounters as she explores the alternative music scene in Camden in the mid-1990s. As she goes from concert to concert, a blossoming romance forms with Lark Springfield, an up-and-coming rockstar with the accompanying brooding demeanour and good looks. And they’re not the only ones– alongside Jenny and Lark, we follow Cece, a waitress-turned-singer and Danny, her boss-turned-boyfriend. Cece and Lark seem destined for stardom, but all the pressures of fame and fortune threaten to shake their chances at ‘happily ever after’.

Someone Will Take Your Place


Synopsis:

This new play follows three women at Oxford in 1920 (the first year women were allowed to matriculate) as they frequent a queer jazz club. There, they encounter all sorts of subversive characters, forcing them to change their minds about the things they thought to be true. Using real queer jazz standards from the 1920s to move the story along, the audience follows our three young women as they end up in deeper, darker waters than they anticipated
