About me

Hello fellow scripters...
I'm fairly new to writing and in this short time I've been lucky to have some of my work brought to stage.
I hope by joining Papatango, my confidence to involve myself further in this creative community will improve... as Stephen Fry puts it, "my joining in..!!"
My scripts thus far, have explored the bonds between family members, and between friends. I am fascinated with their unique dynamic, especially when the relationships are put under strain.
I'd like to delve further into the area of mental health, and how it impacts an individual's world.

I have written, directed, and produced my own work.
