So lush to be a part of telling this story about the drowning of Capel Celyn. Especially when location is in the middle of the sunny, Welsh countryside.

When I was leaving the house, Sam said, “hey Steve Jobs. When’s the new iPhone coming out?” And you know what, I deserved it

As my beloved Mr Sondheim wrote:

“I’ve run the gamut.
A to Z.
Three cheers and dammit,
C’est la vie.
I got through all of last year
And I’m here.”

Buzzing for 2025 💫

One minute you’re at a corporate gig with Sandi Toksvig and the next you’re elves at the Peckham Festive Market

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now

Chip shop (continuously told off because my portion sizes were astronomical)
Boots (did all the tannoy announcements in silly voices)
Styling for TV (most celebs wear big pants. We are not alone)
Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now

1. TV news CG designer
2. Video editing assistant
3. Caregiver for disabled people
4. Foodbank coordinator for start-up
5. ICU RN
6. Airport quarantine nurse

I want to write genre-bending scripts for the rest of my life.
I wish I was lying:

2 Nanny to 3 children
3. Veterinarian Assistant (for 2 days)
4. Office manager for Olympic figure skaters
5. Time-out coordinator for D1 college football broadcasts

I’ve had a job get cancelled, so my December is far less busy than planned.

If anyone’s doing an R&D, rehearsed reading, workshop, short film, scratch night, ANYTHING and needs an actor/writer/singer/creative brain, I’ve been told I’m a decent addition to a rehearsal room, set or studio 🤎🤎🤎

I just know we’re all getting the same pre show jitters before seeing Wicked

Had a lovely time working in Caerdydd, last week. Workshops and R&Ds are so special, aren’t they? I feel like my ✨little brain✨ has been put to good use

⭐️ A reintroduction ⭐️

• I’m a Welsh actor and writer from Caerphilly, living in London

• I’m currently working with National Theatre Wales and Paul Kaiba on the development of a new play

• I’ve just been made a Trustee of Spectacle Theatre, an amazing charity and theatre company in the RCT

I’m working back in Wales, this week and feeling really grateful. I think it’s important to clock when you’re living out something you once dreamed of and YEARNED for, in real time.
