I’m a theatre director and writer creating character-driven stories about people under pressure: families fracturing, institutions cracking, and systems that trap people.

My work often explores class, identity and the ways personal and political collide. I’m drawn to writing and directing that carries emotional clarity, humour and a sharp sense of lived experience.

Alongside theatre, I write for screen and have worked with BFI & Film4.

I also bring a parallel strand of experience in immersive and experiential storytelling.

I’ve worked on large-scale, tech heavy immersive shows with Secret Cinema, Punchdrunk and You Me Bum Bum Train.

I’ve created theatrical experiences for launch events and brands such as: Dexter Resurrection, James Bond x Omega Watches, Amazon, LG and Diablo IV. 

This work sharpened my instincts for world-building, ensemble direction and audience psychology which has strengthened my theatre and screen practice.
