About

The story we tell ourselves is the backdrop to our lives. Transform your story, transform your life. Maybe it’s time for a change. Don’t live by default. On this site I share my stories and my interest in yours and whatever is opening up for you now.
I help people dissolve the past using stories so we free up the future by stretching fully in the present.
My last play was May 9-11th at Brighton Fringe. ‘Mary Blandy’s Gallows Tree’, gained positive reviews and it was a privilege to perform in front of Mary’s blood relative as I told her story imprisonment of Oxford Castle in 1752.
I go deeper in this interview where I share my process with acclaimed Artist Tara Roskell
And tell more of my stories in my new 5 star rated poetry collection here .
Some of the places I have shared my work ;
Film Screenings:
The Clod Man – Alvsbyn Film Festival & Hallucinea Film Festival
Brave New Year – London Shorts Film Festival
Ain’t No Female Romeo – Los Angeles Lift Off Film Festival
Holy Cod/Wyre Lady of Fleetwood –
Madras International Film Festival, Santa Cruz 8th International Film Festival & Winner of 1st Monthly Festival
Theatre –
I am available for producing readings and workshops and take writing commissions.
Playing to wonderful reviews is Wyre Lady of Fleetwood – enjoy a complimentary ticket here
Enjoy my off West-End work
My recent play featured at the last International Playwriting Festival and my previous plays are kindly listed here
Nothing will lift you up like a good story. Well nothing except maybe great pizza!
