Playwright. Liverpool.
Proud to announce this is on in Stratford next spring. The brilliant Mark Gatiss in the title role, and the brilliant Sean Linnen directing. Brecht’s savage satire about how democracy can be eaten alive is unfortunately very timely.

Wishing the cast and crew of RED OR DEAD at @royalcourtliv.bsky.social a lovely last night. And congrats to adaptor-director Philip Breen. It’s a wonderful show, full of passion and poetry. Love the community chorus too. And this is from a Blue!

Just starting to look at Iphigenia At Aulis, realised my copy is the same I used when making a translation of Trojan Women in *1992* for the Courtyard drama school in London

Met @thewhitepube.bsky.social !Aka Gabrielle and Zarina. Their book is excellent. Buy it. Also, their friend made them cupcakes which we sampled and were also excellent.

This is seriously seductive writing. Mesmerising. Shocking and unflinching, humane and wry. All the good adjectives. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/j...

Started this just before the election. Powerful, unnerving.
