The pandemic delayed a few projects which were ultimately produced in 2022 & 2023 including plays I worked as dramaturg on by Corey Bovell, Laura O’Keefe and Ric Renton. At the end of 2021 I was honoured to be shortlisted for the Kenneth Tynan Award which recognises excellence in the field of dramaturgy.

I have continued to work with writers through 2020 both as a freelance dramaturg and as New Writing Manager at Synergy Theatre Project. A short film by Ambreen Razia, commissions by Juliet Gilkes-Romero and Evan Placey and much more to come in 21/22 as theatres reopen.

Current projects are in progress with Laura O’Keefe, Kathryn O’Reilly and Ambreen Razia as well as continuing dramaturgy at Synergy Theatre Project where we are touring a new play for young people by Natalie Mitchell and presenting a new production by Hassan Abdulrazzak at Soho Theatre in 2020. The 2019 Cv update can be found to the right.

At Synergy I’ve been working on a new commission with Hassan Abdulrazzak which has been going through an R&D phase at the National Theatre Studio. I am also working with Martin Askew on final rewrites of his new play ahead of production next year. As a freelancer I’ve been working with Eva Edo and Ambreen Razia on their new plays which play this Autumn. I’ve also been reading for the 2018 Theatre503 Playwriting Award. The biennial update of the CV can be found over on the right.

The CV has been updated and includes two plays I was proud to work on which reached production this year – Diary of A Hounslow Girl by Ambreen Razia and Screwed by Kathryn O’Reilly. As well as the freelancing I’m still at Synergy working on new plays by prisoners and ex-prisoners and I’m happy to be a regular judge for the stage play category of the Koestler Awards.
