As Petty Officer Perriwinkle in What Big Eyes, which I wrote and directed for Cloud Cuckoo Land Theatre, with Beth Hopkins and Naomi Oppenheim.
I craft multilayered narratives for adults and young audiences, weaving dialogue, verse, song, scoring, sound effects and movement together in skilful, surprising ways.
I write:
music theatre and sensory theatre
animated storytelling
verse and lyrics
non-fiction essays about theatre, music and more
My writing credits include several original music theatre productions for young audiences with Cloud Cuckoo Land Theatre, Sleepwalking and Radio Foundry for Birmingham REP, and Slomo,my detective short starring Lorna Laidlaw (shortlisted for the BBC Future Talent Award). In 2026, I won a place on UK Screenskills’ Writing For Animation cohort, developing a new Birmingham-centric animation for 4 to 6 year-olds, Mini Mysteries.
I pull scripts together quickly: if you need it turned around fast, get in touch.
I’m also a skilled dramaturg:
I work with actors, musicians and interdisciplinary ensembles, supporting them to create and innovate, and helping them shape their ideas.
I specialise in music theatre, sensory theatre, theatre for young audiences and contemporary playwriting.
