AUTOPSY OF A BABY BOOMER
Currently a work-in-progress. This is a full-length stage play set in the Northeast. A humorous and raw examination of generational trauma. This play looks at themes of body image, narcissism, generational division and trauma via a surreal therapeutic exercise known as 'the autopsy'. Encouraged and carefully guided by her therapist, Lily explores her relationship to her narcissistic mother as she examines each of her mother's metaphorical body parts in an attempt to build a more whole picture of who she really is,.
DIDN'T I PROMISE YOU
Didn't I Promise You started life as a short two-hander play (formerly known as I've Started & I'll Finish), which received high acclaim (and a scratch performance with Scriptwriters & Co.) from a number of competitions throughout lockdown. Now at full-length, Didn't I Promise You explores the dangers and joys born from the unconscious roles we adopt - the games we play amounting to the shamed, the saved, the loved, the saviour, the victim, and the hopeless. This is a story about exciting and unsteady love, toxic conditioning and identity. (Not yet produced).
AND NEVER LAND
A Play Diagnosed with ADHD.
Michaela imagines she is climbing up and up on a glowing ladder that reaches above the terraces and into the night sky. Thoughts of mild peril, alcohol, and mulling over the existentialist joy of being human prevent her from becoming disastrously bored. She used to have an imaginary friend that looked like crayon scribble. His name was Boleenz. And she’s trying to tell you about the time she, as a full-grown adult, got chased through the streets of Newcastle city centre by men in black.
In And Never Land, audiences are invited on a vibrant and exhilarating journey through the tumultuous yet exhilarating world of ADHD. This one-act play is a poignant blend of personal narrative and fictional exploration of neurodiversity.
