About

I’m a neurodiverse theatre maker, performer, writer and live game maker. I’ve centred my artistic career around making dark, playful, interactive work with a grungy bouffon-inspired style. One of my primary goals is to create work for people who consider theatre as not for them, as accessing my creativity was life-changing. By creating work for those outside traditional audiences I hope to
inspire others who might not currently engage with theirs. My work is radically different from the mainstream theatre world in Wales. Exploring ways to include elements of audience play in my theatrical work is a driving force. I’m fueled by mischief and subversiveness.

I'm currently working on the production "Don't Play With Dead Thigns" supported by Arts Council Wales. I am also part of National THeatre Wales' "Springboard" cohort.

“Totally unlike any other kind of theatre I’ve ever seen. “
“I laughed then felt guilty for laughing. I must have a sick sense of humour.”
"Quite brilliant…This is exactly what a fringe theatre festival should be about!”
"like being on ketamine"
"My face hurts from laughing...thanks"
"Well worth the £9"
"A weird cocktail of 1 part crazy, 6 parts experimental, 2 parts charming and 3 parts deceptively subtextual. Still processing wtf it’s about but fully enjoyed it"
“They should just run the Fringe all year long for more glimpses of greatness like this!”
