Now, however, they … More From Screen to Stage: An Interview with Noah and Jordan (the telepathic comedy duo with the saddest sob story you’ll have heard all evening)
Yesterday evening I swung by London’s latest pop up, Empathy Museum, as part of Lift Festival. Located right beside North Greenwich station, the two exhibitions: a pop up interactive shoe shop and pop up library, are easily accessible and identifiable, if a little ambiguous to passers by.

When I started writing Sally’s Alright in 2014, this was very much my inspiration, and it is for many female performers. In such a competitive industry, which is still so male-orientated, it is … More Writing with Purpose as a Female Performer
BRUTE, Soho Upstairs (Reviewed for EverythingTheatre) ★ ★ ★ ★ Through following Poppy, a new student at an all-girls high-school, muddling her way through the brutal twists of teenage friendships, familial relationships and her own sense of self, Brute provides a worryingly normal portrayal of teenage girls. I was surprised by the description of the … More Brute, Soho Upstairs

What is it with bloggers and tea? The sly mention of it seems necessary in almost every topic imaginable. Is it a right of passage? Do writers adhere to this trend to feel accepted in a culture where every man and his dog/albino green sea-turtle spirit animal has a blog? Could it be just a fail … More A Matter of Blogs and Tea…
