About

I am an emerging writer, director, dramaturg, and academic. After graduating from Royal Holloway, University of London, I co-founded By Jove Theatre Company, a socialist-feminist performance ensemble. We have been making theatre since 2011, re-shaping classic material to speak to 21st century Britain. In 2013, I embarked on a PhD at Royal Holloway; my research combines traditional academic research with material informed by my theatre practice.
