Theatre In Education

I am passionately committed to writing for theatre-in-education and have an ongoing relationship with education departments at Chichester Festival Theatre and the Hazlitt Theatre.

Previous plays are on topics ranging from cyber-bullying, stigma in mental health care, anti-social behaviour, teenage drink-driving, and post-natal depression.

I am also working on adapting literary classics for younger audiences.
