WRITING.
theatre
I was commissioned as one of 10 participants for the Women in Theatre Lab, a development programme that will run over ‘24 - ‘25 and aid the development of new work, and was a part of the BBC Writersroom Write Across programme.
My latest play ‘next door’ became the runner-up in the Woven Voices Prize and received an R&D at the Jermyn Street Theatre. I was a part of the Royal Court Writers’ Group and the Soho Writers’ Lab, and was one of the 10 shortlisted writers for the inaugural Phoebe Frances Brown Award.
My work has previously made the Women’s Prize for Playwriting Shortlist, the top 3 % of the BBC Writersroom Open Call, the Bruntwood Longlist, shortlisted for London Playwrights 2020, 503Five, and the 2020 Verity Bargate Award top 5%, as well as winning a Text On Stage Award in Belgium.
Several of my short plays have been performed at venues such as Theatre503, Southwark Playhouse, Chiswick Playhouse, The Bunker and the King’s Head Theatre, as well as internationally in Canada, New York and Belgium.
prose
I was selected by Curtis Brown Creative as one of five LGBTQIA+ writers to receive Breakthrough Mentorship from Laura Kay for the development of my debut novel, which also placed on the Grindstone Literary Prize 2022 longlist.
