Whaaaaa? It’s June and I haven’t written any news all year. This news section is pretty solipsistic tbh – kind of a public diary so I can remember what it is I’m doing – kind of a shoutout to the Arts Council, and everyone else who funds me, so that they know I”M STILL DOING…

What a nice review. I saw a run a few weeks ago and was delighted by what the cast and creative team have done. This play written for my daughters when they were tiny will always be very close to my heart. It’s how I taught myself to write. It developed my style as a…

So I can now reveal that I was a cast member of Christopher Green’s extraordinary, meticulous, tender, brutal 48 hour immersive experience THE HOME. A huge collaboration between Christopher, The Albany, Entelechy Arts. One of my favourite ever showbiz adventures. Anita has hung up her Chair Zumba outfit for now but will be resuming in…

Currently deep deep deep in collaborating with artistic polymath and style icon Christopher Green on his new immersive theatre show, the HOME, which is about care, care homes, vulnerability, political shenanigans, systems failures, quality, collectivity, joy, failure, and many other good things.

This week’s dramaturgy, in my promiscuous dramaturgy phase, is back in with Edith Tankus, on Wild Country. You can catch a scratch of it at Pulse Festival at the end of the month, or at Folkestone Quarterhouse, or at Cambridge Junction Motherworks’ Festival. We’re working with the brilliant Laura Keefe, who directed Dennis of Penge…

Feel really really happy to have been asked by Brian Logan, artistic director of CPT, to do a bit of dramaturgy/story nerdery on his new show. It opens on 7th May-25th and you can find out ERRRRRRRTHING you need to know about it below. He’s made it with shapeshifting performance genius SHAMIRA TURNER and affable…

So in January I got a Developing Your Creative Practice Grant from ACE and I used it to pay myself a little bit whilst I smashed out the first three episodes of How (Not) to Live in Suburbia. This task of unsolicited TV writing, completed whilst working f/t, tryna keep it real, attempting to parent…
