My latest work is the full-length play 'An Organ of Soft Tissue' which made its premiere at the Basement Theatre in November 2019 to an extremely positive reception.
'An Organ of Soft Tissue', for which I was the playwright and a performer, was based on my own experiences, and discusses trauma and rape culture through an absurd and humorous lens. A thought-provoking play which, at its heart, discusses issues that I believe are extremely important, and investigates the influences that shape our perceptions of trauma, sexuality and gender.
"Humour and playfulness skilfully employed to cushion uncomfortable truths."
"The show is glued together by the talented cast."
"An Organ of Soft Tissue is equal parts funny and hard to hear, and is a conversation we wished we had been a part of as teenagers."
