I used to be a journalist, author, historian and biographer. But I knew I wanted to be a playwright when I grew up. I left growing up a bit late, but I’m there now.

I write all sorts of plays: comedy, drama, history, dystopia.

They’ve appeared on radio, in several cities across Britain, and at London’s best fringe venues – Theatre 503, Etcetera, Bridewell, White Bear, Bread and Roses.  These days I have a special relationship with Upstairs at the Gatehouse in Highgate Village, which premieres all my plays. 

Below is a list of my plays.  If you want to see a script, or are considering producing or performing one of them, just follow the link.
