I’m a theatre-maker.  My work is political, personal, collaborative and also playful.

​

I am drawn to stories and voices that have been under-represented – and to reaching audiences who might not think that theatre is usually for them.

I’m also passionate about making work which invites us to have nuanced, progressive and difficult conversations about things that seem stuck, complicated or can be polarising.

​

Over 15 years (2006-21), I was Co-Artistic Director of 20 Stories High, the award-winning Liverpool-based company. Our productions - including "I told my Mum I was going on an RE Trip..." (Contact/BBC) and Buttercup (BBC) - told dynamic stories with and for young people. Our practice put care, collaboration and community voice at its centre.

​

Since 2022 I have worked as a freelance director, writer, dramaturg and creative consultant. In 2025 I took on the role of Artistic Director (maternity cover) at Theatre by the Lake in Keswick - one of the UK's most distinctive regional theatres (and arguably the most beautifully located!) . I’ve now returned to freelance work, which includes an ongoing role as Creative Associate at TBTL.

​

Other recent projects – and those currently brewing - include collaborations with: Keith Saha Studios, Sick!, Hafsah Aneela Bashir, Afreena Islam-Wright, Pentabus and Manchester International Festival.

I am also on the board of Heart of Glass in St Helens.
