I write for screen and stage. Based in London UK, my career started on stage and progressed to the movies. I've had 2 musicals produced in the UK and won the Best Screenplay prize at Churches Making Movies Festival in NJ for King Babylon.
SCREEN:
'King Babylon'. A musical movie re-telling of the story of Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. BEST SCREENPLAY PRIZE in 2017.
'Conspiracy of Ravens'. Inspired by the true story of the last woman to be hanged in Iceland. But was she really guilty or used as a scapegoat by the authorities? SEMI-FINALIST in Storyboard's synopsis competition.
'Project Chloe'. A modern twist on the Cinderella story in which a down-trodden finance executive unexpectedly receives a wardrobe of designer clothes, exposes the prince for a fraud, wins the respect of her colleagues, saves a retail store from financial disaster and gains a new understanding of who she is and what she is capable of. In development.
STAGE:
‘Butterfly Hero’, a musical about love, danger and beautiful wings. Written for a cast of 25 children of St Paul’s CE Primary School, Hammersmith, London. Five sell-out performances at Lyric Hammersmith, UK.
‘The Salsa Sisters’, a story about four sisters in 1950s Cuba who follow their dream to sing their way to freedom, but get caught up in the political revolution they are trying to escape. Commissioned by Youth Music Theatre and performed at the Barbican, Plymouth.
‘About Time’, winner of 10-minute musical competition hosted by East 15 Drama School.
‘Skin Deep’, winner of 10-minute musical competition hosted by East 15 Drama School.
‘Tiny Shows’ a weekend event for 60 writers and actors to gather, share and create short pieces of musical theater based loosely around the story of Cinderella including a public performance. Co-producer with Jen Toksvig and Buffy Sharpe. Raised £13.5k from Arts Council England.
'Project Art' (working title). Inspired by the true stories in 1980s England of artists and con men who together pulled off the largest contemporary art scam of the twentieth century! Deceit, greed and backstabbing are rife in the genteel world of high-class art.
