"What are you writing?"
While I'm always working away on something, here are some of my recent publications and projects.
HEADCASE
​
HEADCASE is an ensemble play about surviving the relentless corporate workday, not embarrassing yourself in front of your crush, and navigating crippling anxiety. Touching and honest, this show highlights the tension between ‘living our best lives’ and prioritising our needs. HEADCASE inspires wholehearted conversation about self-care, stigma, and acceptance, and will leave audiences with a better understanding of mental healthcare and self-love.

The script is completed. It began as a solo show as part of Haley McGee’s Solo Show Creation Lab (2020). The solo version was workshopped with director Alex Venditelli, with support from the Arts Council of England, before being re-written into an ensemble show in 2022. The latest script has been workshopped with director Mariana Aristizabal Pardo, and a rehearsed reading was performed at The Space in January 2023. ​

“The reader praised how strong the central idea of the play is…it clearly expressed how anxiety is paralysing, overwhelming, but also normal.” – Royal Court Literary Department
