About Me: I'm a neurodiverse British-Polish writer, currently based between London and LA. I grew up in the North of England but spent my childhood vacationing in communist Warsaw where I honed my impressive queuing skills. My scripts are about intelligent, difficult (and probably neurodiverse) women fighting to live fully-realised lives. My play Intelligence about the computer pioneer Ada Lovelace and the gender bias encoded in AI won the 2023 Women’s Prize for Playwriting and is currently in development with Paines Plough and Ellie Keel Productions.

Warped
When Jeremy’s descent down the rabbit hole of the Plastic Time cult threatens to tear the Hawthorne family apart, his children Zoe and Aaron decide to take matters into their own hands. By infiltrating the very community that has their father in a chokehold, they hope to chip away at the internal logic and undermine its enigmatic leader from the inside - but just how far will they be able to resist the allure of Plastic Time themselves?
