The final scene is one I couldn't look away from. It is a moment where Blythe Stewart's direction and Siân's words weave together seamlessly
and I'm holding my breath thinking back on it now. WORK BITCH,

I've commissioned debuts for Soho Theatre and Oxford School of Drama. I led Write Your Truth in partnership with Theatre Queers, a digital community for LGTBQ+ writers to develop skills as well as scripts during the pandemic. I've mentored international creatives through Jermyn Street Theatre and LAMDA.
