End of the Tens
The last few years have felt pretty tough but, given that this is a day for taking stock, I can look back on some writing milestones this decade.
- The Interview at the Arcola in 2010
- The Inside Man/The Interview double bill at the Brighton Fringe
- Shortlisted for the Windsor Fringe prize (Inside My Head)
- Four Rapid Write Response plays for Theatre503
- Two Bruntwood Prize final 40 plays (Closed and Dead Yard)
- A Certain Kind of Girl for The Miniaturists
- Development of Dead Yard at the Arcola Lab in 2017
- The Arcola PlayWROUGHT festival, again with Dead Yard
Along the way I’ve worked with many talented and generous actors, directors and writers, inspiring me to make my own way as a playwright.
Eclipsing all the above are my two proudest achievements: marrying Fabia in 2012 and Adam’s arrival in 2014. Maybe the 2010s have been a rather special decade after all!
I’ve been quiet but busy in 2019. Stay tuned for the lowdown on my brand new full-length play in 2020.
