Plays

These are the plays I have produced, directed and/or devised and acted in with others. Collaboration is at the heart of my work. I get excited seeing what others can bring to an idea. The majority started life as workshops. My devised work shares common themes such as limited or no spoken language, physical theatre, immersive elements, the use of silence and ritual.
