ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in England and spent my childhood years writing and directing my own feature films... the sheer obnoxiousness of which is best chronicled here.
Nowadays I live between NYC and London, writing predominantly for musical theatre. Most recently I have been honoured as a Fellow of the
Dramatist Guild, Winner of the Eugene O'Neill National Musical Theatre Conference and Finalist for the Kleban Prize and Stiles & Drewe Best New Song Award.
I write stories with an audience in mind, that aim to be both wildly fun and ultimately meaningful, starring larger-than-life women who shock, stir and delight.
Other things: I was a member of the Writers Room for the BAFTA-Award-Winning TV series 'Skins', I am the Founder/Director of Spirit YPC, which under my direction has attracted over 150 million online viewers to our MT performances, I am a member of the BMI Bookwriting Workshop, and I have an MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from NYU Tisch.
