The Brave Anthology (★★★★★, Ed Fringe 2019)
Work which is aware of its theatricality, aware of it's context, and aware of its audience - thriving from their presence.
Worlds which depict a vast landscape for imagination to explore.
Plays which rigorously work for a truth, offering original ideas to invite compelling answers.
A simmering campness, suggesting an isolated story within experiential commonality.
Work with characters who reflect a hard honesty, fuel story, and express a visceral ontology.

Shares enthralling stories using nuanced theatricality
My work aims to offer entertaining narratives whilst testing people's habitual perspectives.
Mines for a hidden truth, no matter how deep
I search for an unrecognised truth in collaboration with what an audience might offer.
Challenges convention using original creativity
Infused with imagination, I invite the audience away from comfortability by staging familiar yet sometimes unnerving conditions of being.

To be engaged, thrilled and entertained; leaving the theatre with some answers whilst asking different questions than when they arrived.
Exposed to an unexpectedly new and memorable experience, one that is worth something to each of them and revels in the pleasure of sharing.
To feel safe in the presence of challenging new ideas; a space where the outside world takes a back seat.
