Artist Statement

I took a science degree but trained as an actor at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and later took an MA in Playwriting. I write mainly for the stage, anything from monologues to large scale community plays: researching interpreting and bringing to life the stories people want to tell about their lives, experiences or local history. Recent commissions include:
Time Flies – for Flies on the Wall Youth Theatre
Once Upon a Line – for the Stroud Brunel Trust
Lizzie Farmor’s Edifying Circus – for the Fairford History Society & Farmor’s School

The other focus to my work, as director of the Centre for the Spoken Word, is to support talking skills through the written and performing arts.

Theatre is a collaborative art and I am happy to work with other artists on performance or text-based projects.
