We start a residency at the Arcola Theatre next week to develop my new play Dead Yard. This includes a reading to an industry audience on Friday 19 May.

The R&D will be led by Yasmeen Arden, with design by Holly Pigott. It is supported by the Arcola Lab and Arts Council England.

We have a wonderful cast for this project, including Franc Ashman, Roger Griffiths, Karlina Grace-Paseda, Teri Ann Bobb-Baxter and Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge.

Please contact me directly if you have an interest in this exciting new project.

I’m thrilled to say I’ve got a new short play at The Miniaturists in June.

A Certain Kind of Girl is directed by Yasmeen Arden and features Charlotte Higgins as Alice and Jack Baldwin as Don.

The Miniaturists has been showcasing new short plays since 2005. Minis 57 is at the Arcola Theatre on Sunday 5 June, with shows at 5pm and 8pm.

The bill also includes new work by acclaimed playwrights John Donnelly, Marianne Powell, Nathan Wood and Dan Davies.
