October 28, 2021 The Escort
Alex has her own secret life. And not all of it is for sharing with her parents. But, as it turns out, everyone has their own secrets and when Alex's mum needs a favour, she finds she can't refuse - no matter where that takes her.

An original audio drama, The Escort is a whydunnit, a murder mystery — or is it?

February 13, 2021 Sea Change
Early in 2020, two of my friends remarked that my audio plays were very dark – they didn't think I had quite such a black imagination. They asked for a love story - "with a happy ending."

April 15, 2020 Confessional
In 1429 Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for witchcraft. Gilles de Rais, her captain and a medieval super-hero, was convicted of child-murder and sorcery. He followed her to the stake and burned a decade later. 'Confessional' explores the link between the two events, and examines how powerful men can seem to be untouchable and unstoppable. The play contains strong language and explicit content; listener discretion is advised. SFX sourced under the BBC Rem Arc Licence: bbc.co.uk - © Copyright 2019 BBC

April 23, 2019 Collaboration
In 1945 the Parisian-born singer, Edith Piaf, was investigated for charges of collaborating with the Nazi regime. Piaf was a performer, a survivor and a pragmatist, but was she a collaborator? For her, music stood beyond politics; she said: 'Ne pas chanter, c'est mourir' ('Not to sing is to die'). Both poignant and funny, the play includes explicit language and content. It also raises serious questions about truth and lies, collaboration and resistance: by failing to resist governments, how far can we be said to be colluding with their values and actions?
