About Me: I started writing during lockdown in 2020 and to date have written 4 one-act plays and several short pieces. One of my short plays was one of the 10 winners in the Chesil Theatre Take 10 festival 2024. I am drawn to writing plays for mature actors, especially women.
Featured Play
MetaMorphoses, based on Ovid\'s original
Primal storytelling and contemporary sensibilities collide in a sensual and physical re-envisioning of Greek myths in MetaMorphoses, based on the Roman Poet Ovid. MetaMorphoses presents a poetic kaleidoscope of transformations that mesmerises with its tales of Midas, Aphrodite, Myrrha, Eros, Psyche, Dionysus, and many more deities and mortals in a sharp-edged meditation on the joys and perils of being human. Many scenes touch on consent, body image, trans issues, the capitalist crisis and the human experience in times of overpowering change.
