About me

I'm a neurodiverse British-Polish writer, currently based between LA and London. I grew up in the North of England but spent my childhood vacationing in communist Warsaw where I honed my impressive queuing skills. My scripts are about intelligent, difficult (and probably neurodiverse) women fighting to live fully-realised lives.

As a playwright, my work has been supported and developed by The National Theatre Studio, Royal Shakespeare Company, The Orange Tree, Sphinx, Arts Council England, The Peggy Ramsay Foundation, The Orchard Project, The Studios Key West and OffWestEnd.com. My play Intelligence about the computer pioneer Ada Lovelace and the gender bias encoded in AI won the 2024 Women’s Prize for Playwriting and is currently in development with Paines Plough and Ellie Keel Productions. My other plays include S-27 (Winner iceandfiire/Amnesty Interational Protect the Human Playwriting Competition) and Waiting for Romeo (Winner Best Play (Small Venue), Ekin Yazin Dostları Theatre Awards).

As an emerging screenwriter, I trained on courses at NFTS and UCLA TFT. I was recently chosen to be one of the 12 writers on Channel 4’s 2025 4Screenwriting programme. My TV pilot, Vindication, which charts the early life of the original badass feminist Mary Wollstonecraft placed as a semifinalist at the 2024 Austin Film Festival. Other accolades to date include semifinal/shortlist placements for the Writers’ Lab US, Respectability Lab, Studio21 Drama Series Script Competition and ITV Disabled Writers’ Scheme. I placed in the top 3% for BBC Writersroom Open Call 2024.

As an audio writer, I regularly write episodes of Dr Who for Big Finish where I specialise in stories featuring alien invasions in historical settings and robots, and sometimes both.

I was an associate artist for over four years with Headlong, where I led their digital strategy and curated a range of digital theatrical experiences including game, app and installations.

I like to reflect on my craft as writer. My books on playwriting and contemporary theatre include The Contemporary Political Play and The Theatre of Rupert Goold. Between 2013 and 2025, I led and taught on the MA/MFA Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Currently seeking both UK and US representation.
