Theatre
For me theatre needs to be an explosion, visceral, urgent, embodied.
I work with big ideas to make the audience feel them emotionally. My theatre work is less autobiographiocal than my prose. I take the audience on a journey and use many devices and styles of storytelling to do so. I invite the audience to join me in different worlds, some historical, some fantastical, some surreal and escape into pure theatricality.
I want to challenge people, entertain them, engage them. I love to take big ideas, as well as ecological and scientific subjects and weave a theatrical language out of them that is both absurd and moving, humourous and poetic.

The List
Revolver
"I was angry then and I'm still angry now"
Revolver is inspired by the legendary Beatles album of the same name released in 1966. In 2026, a woman lands her dream job as a TV researcher; in 1966, a teenage Beatles fan falls in love with John Lennon; and in New York in the same year Valerie Solanas recruits for The Society For Cutting Up Men.
Compelling, rich and wryly funny, REVOLVER brings to life a time of revolutionary change and protest. As The Beatles tour to America for the first time and people’s minds explode with pacifism and radical feminism, John Lennon declares the band is as popular as Jesus, but things soon shift from liberated swing to drug-induced chaos.
The inspiration
I first wrote Revolver pre-Me-Too but its themes have never been more relevant today. The material still felt urgent, but my relationship to it had changed. This version became a conversation between different moments in time - between a dead mother and a daughter who is forced to recognise the truth about what her mother went through.

A delightful storm of ideas and feeling.
The Guardian
“
Warm and engaging… dense with ideas about the nature of the mind and human happiness.

“
A sharply directed, amusing and… surreal look at philosophy, love, and the soul.

Blizzard
A scurrilous intimate journey into love, identiy and the animal in us all.
Blizzard is a piece of surreal storytelling. It combines neuroscience and Nietzschean philosophy to explore a woman’s journey to find her independence.
We follow Dotty who has a fractious relationship with her neuroscientist husband who is also called Dotty. When he falls ill, he asks her to deliver an important lecture on ‘the neuronal avalanche’ on his behalf. It is his life’s work and she reluctantly agrees. She travels to Switzerland to attend the neuroscience conference and give the lecture but her mind moves associatively, poetically, emotionally, and she can’t help going off-piste.
The piece asks whether knowledge comes only through logic and learning or whether the body knows something deeper. At its core, it asks how we understand consciousness and draws on both Western philosophy, animistic and shamanic traditions, while remaining a compelling piece of storytelling.
