PLAYS
I write plays about things I’m obsessing about or need to figure out.
Or things me/my loved ones are affected by. Or things I get asked to write about.
Sometimes I’m motivated by rage, sometimes by joy, sometimes by both. I always want to entertain and provoke.
My plays are funny, playful, political and psychological and mix the mythic and mundane.
Four of my plays are published by Bloomsbury. You can buy them here.
If you want to commission a play from me, please contact my agent.
The Plays
Gab is a spirited, independent Derbyshire teenager who finds solace in nature as she deals with the death of her mum, the hostility of her stepmum and sisters, and the absence of her dad. A chance encounter with a badger changes her destiny and shows her a life beyond her little valley. A joyous seasonal production for Derby Theatre, performed by a talented cast of actor/musicians.
