Writer. Theatremaker. Still can’t craft a good bio.

“Makes you glad to be alive in 2024” - The Guardian.
This is a Hail Mary post – but I’ve got 2 weeks to try and find some funding to take a show abroad.

With ACE having been down I’ve been seeking generous patrons (+ making peace with delaying).

I’m loathe to reactivate Twitter… so if anyone has connections please shout and I’ll share more info.

Having one of those Elvanse days where I am hyper aware of my own heartbeat. It’s like being edged by a panic attack.

I’ve had to cut myself off after placing multiple Eurovision bets within 30 minutes of the show beginning.

This weeks word count (so far…) has been objectively poor. A real case of “chipping away”. Maybe managed 1500ish meaningful words. Although did spend an afternoon plotting a sitcom pilot which was, well, generously let’s say not on the agenda.

So I’m thinking I’m going to use this platform to chronicle and document my writing and how projects are going. Can I guarantee this will be interesting? No! Will I suddenly become a content producing machine?! Also no. But hopefully helps find the right audience and community on here? Maybe?

Waterloo is crawling with St George clad “protestors”. Disconcerting and alarming seeing them up close just brazenly walking around - not least because they all just seem so utterly benign. Their normality is what’s scary.

Saw this at the Fringe in 2023 and never forgot it. @davidnhead.bsky.social's run at the @arcolatheatre.bsky.social ends today, but I have faith it won't be too long before we see it again. It's a treat for the soul.

Last day of Distant Memories at @arcolatheatre.bsky.social today. 2 shows left. Feels very surreal. Very proud of it - but exhausted. Such a strange endeavour doing shows like this. Anyway… If this reaches you - do come along tonight at 7!

This continues to be one of the most insane and upsetting things that not enough people are talking about. I cannot believe that no one has stepped in to ensure the artists get their money back this year.

Me pointing at a smaller me, advertising a show by me and performed by me.

This feels like it has the ingredients for a metaphor about social media but I’m not sure…

What I am sure about is how many tickets are for tonight and all of next week. www.arcolatheatre.com/whats-on/dis...

I realise I’m shouting into the void here, but just in case… my show is on for another week and a half! Come and see it.

Distant Memories of the Near Future
Critically-acclaimed intertwining love stories set in a dystopian future. An isolated tech mogul tries to turn love into an algorithm. A jaded consumer confronts their loneliness. An astronaut is trap...

Hello Bluesky. Will this be the social media app I finally master? Unlikely.

But will I jump on the bandwagon and introduce myself to feed the algorithm? Yup.

I’m a writer and theatremaker. In fact I currently have a storytelling show on in London: Distant Memories of the Near Future.
