Theatrical work in Britain includes a production of Anne Carson’s Agamemnon set against the facade of a Victorian estate and a commission to create an experimental piece, ‘This is the good place’, commemorating Christopher Isherwood’s centenary at the Parker Library. Most recently, her direction of Betyl Theatre production Play Dead was seen at The Horse Hospital and Playhouse East (Autumn 2025) and will be appearing at Underbelly for the Edinburgh Fringe (August 2026). Currently, she is editing her first feature, an ongoing experimental project using Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters to investigate how to capture theatrical development on film and make a theatrical spectator of a filmic one.

Press for Play Dead

‘Following its acclaimed London run, Play Dead plays at the Edinburgh Fringe with all the same raw intensity that made it such a compelling experience first time around.’ - ★★★★ Theatre Weekly
