About • Biography
I am a playwright from South London and a recent graduate of the MA Drama Writing course at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School whose work combines abstract ideas with comedic realism to explore questions about loneliness, human connection, and the desire for love. My work centres on the female experience, bringing the humanness of rage, darkness, desire and comedy to voice my characters and put them at the centre of their own stories. I like to experiment with storytelling modes, combining my love for naturalistic dialogue with expressionistic worlds and forms. Psychoanalytic theory has influenced a lot of my work, allowing me to access characters’ multifaceted layers through intimate, poetic monologue. I have recently become interested in clowning practice as a form of expression within my own writing, using this to explore the search for vulnerability through play.
