Artistic Statement

I write plays because mental health and women's voices are critical narratives that must be explored and heard. Theatre provides a unique platform to delve into the complexities of these themes, offering a space where difficult truths can be confronted and understood.

In my work, I aim to shine a light on the struggles and triumphs that come with navigating mental health challenges and advocating for women's rights and experiences. My plays often inhabit the tension between societal expectations and personal realities, exploring the multifaceted nature of human experience. This space, where differing perspectives and lived experiences intersect, is rich with the potential for powerful storytelling. Whether it’s the nuanced realities of living with mental illness, the silent struggles of women in patriarchal societies, or the internal conflicts that arise from societal pressures, I strive to create work that opens up conversations we often avoid. These stories are not just about highlighting issues; they are about fostering empathy and understanding.

Honesty is at the heart of my writing. I believe in approaching each story with a level of candor that we seldom achieve in everyday life. Through this honesty, I hope to challenge audiences to confront their own assumptions and engage more deeply with the world around them. The theatre, to me, is a space for genuine connection, where we can explore the full spectrum of human emotion and experience without judgment.
