I’m drawn to down-to-earth, heartfelt narratives, suffused with plenty of hope and humour. I’m a sucker for soaring melodies and zingy lyrics. I’ve co-written several shows, a dash of opera and a podcast musical, which have been developed and produced internationally.
Alongside my writing, I’ve worked as a Script Reader, Teaching Artist and Producing & Literary Associate at various institutions, including Prospect Theater, Amas Musical Theatre, Keegan Theatre and Root Beer Occasions. I was an inaugural Young Ambassador at The Oxford Playhouse in 2020-1. I have an MFA from NYU Tisch and a BA from Oxford University. As a taster, check out the music video we made about Mavis Batey, one of the forgotten female codebreakers of Bletchley Park! (The song was a finalist for the Stiles + Drewe Best New Song Prize, and brilliantly performed by Gemma Sutton at The Hackney Empire in 2021.)
