I tell stories that are quiet, heartfelt and tinged with the absurd. I'm fascinated by characters whose inner contradictions leave them tied up in knots. I want to write about humans and the messy, beautiful and harmful lives that we lead.  In my work, I try to capture the small intimacies which give our lives meaning. I like big laughs, long silences and characters who try to change.

​

I've written stage-texts, radio plays and fiction. From time to time I make performances, sometimes with others and sometimes on my own. As a dramaturg, I support artists, mentor playwrights, read scripts for institutions and lead workshops.

​

I write criticism for Neon Books and Exeunt Magazine.
