Nell Weston

About Me: I am a queer-feminist playwright and artist from Birmingham creating work that is introspective, textural, haunting and playful, and provides voice to the under-represented. I enjoy working with ensembles and using a combination of expressive physicality and punchy, witty dialogue to walk the line between the ethereal and the tragic, the silent and the screaming. I graduated from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in July last year, where I studied writing for radio, screen and theatre.  I am currently working on ‘Sappho Could’ve Bathed Here’ in Bristol with her theatre company Muddled Muse, a play and community project generating a sapphic eco-system to fight loneliness and the under-representation of queer women and non-binary characters through Sappho’s poetry, magical-realism and quick-witted comedy, and am also now looking forward to extending my practice to screenwriting, adapting the same project for a TV sitcom and also adapting a short play “No Scrumping” into a feminist folk-horror film short.
