My writing is a cocktail of clashing elements. It combines menace and lightheartedness, science and mysticism, sophistication and childishness. A mentor described my plays as an opulent mansion with a wild animal running loose inside – an kinetic mixture of the elegant and the feral. I write about dark side of innovation, about who washes out and who gets left behind. I’m interested in stories about striking it rich and striking out, about changing communities, about wanting to change the world but failing to change human nature. I write with burning political conviction, but with no interest in advancing a political agenda. I want to delight and surprise, and I want the audience to feel deep empathy with the people we are often poised to hate.
