I was eco-dramaturg on Eastern Angles’ autumn 2024 tour of The Deep, a play by the Icelandic writer Jón Atli Jónasson (in a version translated by Brian Fitzgibbon). I wrote programme notes about humanity’s fear of the deep ocean and facilitated post-show talks at a number of venues on the tour.

I directed and was dramaturg on Star Sisters, the R&D phase of a new play in development written by Colchester-based playwright Nicola Werenowska, about the Taylor sisters who lived in Colchester in the early nineteenth century and one of whom, Jane, wrote the famous nursery rhyme “Twinke, Twinkle, Little Star”.
