UPCOMING WORKS

My latest work, MACKENZIE, will premiere in Sydney and Melbourne with Bell Shakespeare in 2026. In the meantime, I’m writing a bunch of plays, while developing a feature film for Fremantle, co-writing a stage musical for Mark Gordon Pictures, and co-writing a play with songs for Performing lines.

PREVIOUS WORKS

I wrote the book, Music and Lyrics for FANGIRLS, which premiered at Queensland Theatre and Belvoir in 2019, before touring in 2021, playing the Sydney Opera House in 2022, and premiering in London in 2024, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.

Prior to that, I lived in London for three years where I wrote and produced a STACK of fringe theatre, including four solo shows. I was lucky to present my own work at Soho Theatre, Southbank Centre, and The Barbican - and to score development support from Old Vic New Voices, the Bush Theatre, and the National Theatre Studio.

'Sugar Sugar' a play I developed through the Royal Court Young Writers' Programme premiered at MKA Theatre of New writing in Melbourne in 2014, and my monologue 'Prince Willy' Developed through the Fresh Ink National Studio has been published by Currency Press.

YOUTH PANELS

I'm obsessed with making teenagers feel at home in arts venues. In Sydney have held positions on youth advisory committees at Sydney Theatre Company, and Griffin Theatre Company and co-founded Youth Panels at the Australian Theatre for Young People and The Sydney Opera House.

I’ve also held positions on panels at The Victoria and Albert Museum and Richmix In London and have visited education departments in the USA at Steppenwolf Theatre Company Chicago, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Goodman Theatre Chicago, and in the UK at the Almeida Theatre & Battersea Arts Centre to observe & discuss their own Youth Advisory Programs.
