PLAYWRITING

My plays use humour to discuss power, agency and the role of technology in our lives. I have written, directed and produced two plays, and I am working on a third one.

Co-written with Piers Pennington. Performed at Battersea Arts Centre in June 2025.

ALICE IN TINDERLAND

A comedic plunge down the rabbit hole of online dating. Does the digital world help us connect or do we lose our head, and our identity in our digital search for love?

—“A very well thought out show with excellent and current themes”

—“Excellent use of Alice in Wonderland as the metaphor. Great dialogue reflecting the generational attitudes to dating”

—“ It reminded me of what a nonsensical place online dating can be!”
