I am a playwright, writer and dramaturg based in Melbourne.

My plays have been produced internationally and include After Rebecca, Cuddle Parlour, Tourmaline, War Stories (as co-writer), which had multiple productions in the UK and Ireland; Bloodletting (winner of the Bread and Roses Theatre Award, London); Johnny Castellano is Mine (winner Canberra Critics Circle Award); The Pyjama Girl; Widowbird; and Love Cupboard. The Pyjama Girl, first produced by HotHouse Theatre, is published by Australian Plays.

I was a 2020 participant in Melbourne Theatre Company’s Women in Theatre program (for dramaturgy) and a writer in residence at Theatre Works. I wrote a piece for Alternative Futures, a site-specific promenade piece along Acland Street in St Kilda, produced by Theatre Works.

As well as writing plays, I write about place. I have a Master of Arts in Creative Non-Fiction (Place Writing) from Manchester Metropolitan University. My place-based work includes a spoken-word audio walking tour for the You Are Here Festival, site-specific poetry installations and experimentations in Spain, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Australia, an audio walk for Moreland’s Monument to Now arts festival, and an audio story on the #58 tram commissioned by Melbourne City of Literature – where you get to choose the ending.

I also have experience as a script assessor and dramaturg. I’ve worked on new writing, opera, circus and cabaret/burlesque projects. I love collaborating with other creatives – reach out via the contact form if you need dramaturgical support to realise your show.
