I am a writer and theatre maker. 

 

In 2024 my play, 'In a Key of Her Own' was produced at the Taking the Stage Festival (by The Plays the Thing theatre company) a theatre festival dedicated to female playwrights and theatre makers. The play juxtaposes the life of Fanny Mendelssohn - the talented and for too long overlooked sister of Felix Mendelssohn - with a student's successful mission in 2016 to get the first woman composer added to the Edexcel Music A-Level syllabus. 

​

My new play 'The History of Animals' was part of Omnibus Theatre's Engine Room development scheme.

​

I set up the distilled writers collective. We are a group of ten female playwrights with the aim of putting plays by older women on stage.

Our next show 'Wait ... Who the Fu@&K am I Now?'  is in April 2025.

​

My work has been developed with the Sphinx Theatre's 30 Writers' Development Initiative and the Criterion Theatre Writing Development Scheme. My plays have also been supported by Arts Council England.​

​

I have had plays produced at Theatre503, Southwark Playhouse, Arcola Theatre, Kings Head Theatre, JW3 and the Manchester Jewish Museum.  I've been long-listed for the Old Vic12 and shortlisted numerous times for BBC Drama Writersroom.

​

As artistic director of my theatre company, Little Pieces of Gold, from 2010-2021, I produced over 400 short plays from emerging, established and award winning writers. I continue to work in a freelance producing/assistant producing capacity and am currently working on 'Moderation' (produced by Over Here Theatre Company) at the Hope Theatre (19 March - 5 April 2025) 

​

I am the editor of Short Plays with Great Roles for Women, an anthology of 22 short plays by female playwrights published by Routledge.

​

I am represented by the Knight Hall Agency.
