I am a playwright and screenwriter. 503Five 2023-25. BBC London Voices 2023
My work elevates ordinary experience and honours the lived realities of ordinary people
No one in my work is evil, or only a villain. I don’t believe in conflict in the way we are told it should operate in drama
I’m interested in structures and systems, and how they fail us, and how in those circumstances we make our worst decisions, even when we’re trying our best
But I do believe in compelling stories
I build vivid, authentic worlds, and zoom in on the tiny connections inside them
My work finds the epic in the intimate and incidental
I try to capture the unsaid with insight
My process is generous, thoughtful, observant, rigorous, precise
My work is tender, quiet, detailed, delicate, radical
I also sometimes write criticism. Check out the way I think about things here
