ABOUT ME
I’m an award-winning theatre maker, writer and dramaturg with a deep love for bold ideas, sharp storytelling and inventive performance. I’ve created and directed critically acclaimed shows that have won multiple Brighton Fringe Audience Choice Awards, the LAMB Comedy Award, and the Pebble Trust Touring Bursary.
I work closely with writers and artists to develop new work, shaping narrative, structure and character with rigour and imagination. My practice is rooted in curiosity, collaboration and a belief that theatre should surprise, delight and challenge.
