About me

I studied playwriting at Royal Holloway and worked for several years at the Royal Court Theatre. I was an Associate Writer with HighTide in 2019, where I developed The First Time as Tragedy, a piece of interactive theatre. My short Hungry Like was featured as part of Papatango's Isolated but Open in 2020. I've since expanded this into a full length play called Katie and George, which recently got through to the penultimate round of Verity Bargate Award. I created the audio drama podcast The People Outside with Laura McGrady. I also write for video games and, recently, for film.
