I am currently under commission by the Sherman and Theatr Clwyd. My play SALEM will be produced at RWCMD and the Young Vic this year.
​
My play NOT was recently read at The Other Place, having been selected for the RSC's 37 Plays project. Other theatre work includes: The Order of the Object (Theatr Clwyd), The Merthyr Stigmatist (Sherman/Theatre Uncut; shortlisted for Theatre Uncut's inaugural political playwriting award and available here from Nick Hern Books), Lump (Dirty Protest/Paines Plough), Alex (The Miniaturists, Arcola), 2023 (Chapter/Illumine Theatre, with extracts later performed at the Barbican,London). My work has also been performed at Wales Millennium Centre, Theatre503, TACT Studio (Broadway, NYC), Martin E Segal Theatre (NYC).
I have twice been writer-in-residence at Theatr Clwyd and I am joint artistic director of Illumine Theatre Company.
