When It Rains
Edinburgh Fringe 2023
Set in the near-future, acid rain incites nationwide lockdowns, the future feels impossible. A group of teenage boys sneak out to an abandoned warehouse where they can escape it all. A thrilling and humorous exploration of 21st-century masculinity. Written following extensive workshops with its young cast, When It Rains is a physical and fast-paced vision of a world where the youth are losing hope. With razor-sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and bold physicality, When It Rains speaks in an urgent new voice, one which demands to be heard.
I Can't Hear You
Theatre503 2022
"Lights flash, music thuds in our chests. Ash and Lucy dance. It’s chaotic, it’s free. A bottle smashes at their feet. Was it thrown? The music stops, they’re flung apart. They leave the glass shattered on the dance floor, unaware of the new formed crack fracturing the foundations of their relationship."
This is a thrillingly fast paced piece of new writing, a love story at it’s core, with a lot to say about the reality of being a queer female today. Told in three intersecting timeframes, it’s a heart wrenchingly nuanced exploration of the fear of being honest with yourself, secrets too large to vocalise and the shattering effects of hate crime. This play is a call to change.
Butterflies
VAULT Festival, Theatre503, Edinburgh Fringe 2019
Three girls. Three bedrooms. Three phones. An endless stream of notifications. Witty and honest, Butterflies navigates a world of revenge porn, Tinder bios and wagon wheels.
Meet Shannon, Frankie and Floss: a working-class teenager infatuated with her Call of Duty obsessed boyfriend; a closeted uni student using tinder to explore her sexuality for the first time; and the latest YouTube sensation battling an ex threatening to share revenge porn. Told in three hilarious and intricately interwoven monologues, this striking debut is an intimate portrait of womanhood, identity and the minefield that is growing up in the age of Instagram.
