Play Something Edinburgh Fringe 2017
British Theatre Review
Two men meet in a club. It’s supposed to just be casual sex. But their paths keep crossing, keeping it casual for years, until feelings deepen. But how does a non-emotional man become emotional?

Living with Luke 2014-2016
"HAVING a ringside seat of a wrestling ring for a theatrical event centred upon living with a child with autism – “Living with Luke” – it not a typical Saturday evening – for me at least. However that’s where I found myself in the school hall of Passmores Academy, Harlow. I know very little about the autism spectrum – I had an excellent conversation with Sam Fancett who runs the charity Pact for Autism a few weeks back, I’ve read a bit on the subject and like most people I have my cultural reference points. I know a great deal more about theatre and when it comes to wrestling..."
