I started to write in Spring 2005 when I attended a writers' development course with North West Playwrights. I then attended a writing for Radio course with Arvon in the autumn of the same year. I had a play selected for the 24:7 theatre festival in 2007 following which I was selected for a nine month mentoring project with North West Playwright during which I completed a full length play.

Synopsis: | Each to Their Own is written for a young multi cultural audience and is a contemporary cross cultural love story set in a small, deprived mill town in Lancashire. Amy becomes friends with an Asian schoolboy Amar when they work together on a school history project. She falls in love with Amar's cousin, Uzhair who is a small time drug dealer and who is only interested in Amy for short term sexual gratification for himself and his friends. Amar is an honourable and respectable Muslim boy who hates the choices that his cousin makes and the shame that this brings to the family. He too is attracted to Amy, but he has a strong faith and an arranged marriage planned, and will never act on his feelings for her. In the final scenes Amar saves Amy from Uzhair only to find himself blamed for Amy's distress. He loses his chance to be head boy. The themes of racism, prejudice and how the two cultures coexist run throughout the play and are explored through the implicit comparison between the two families: Amy's mother and her bitter and racist grandfather; and Amar's loving and proud family, who despair of their wayward nephew. | |||||

Synopsis: | The great Victorian reformer, Josephine Butler, brings into her home two women in need of salvation. But life isn't as simple as melodrama and each has her own idea of redemption. Three women are brought together by the Contagious Diseases Act (CDA). Josephine Butler, and her son George, Jenny Percy (whose Mother committed suicide rather than submit to the demands of the Act), and Hope Stephenson (a reformed prostitute). The CDA was introduced in Britain in 1864 as a means to control venereal disease in the armed forces and allowed policemen to submit women suspected of being prostitutes to a medical examination; embarrassing at best and brutal, infecting and damaging at worst. The play reveals the true horror for working class women living under the scourge of the CDA and slips into the style of a Victorian music hall melodrama at key moments in the play for dramatic effect. Josephine is great orator-speaking to packed halls of working class men. Jenny has grown up in the rich world of music hall. Hope is knowing and uses her female skills to seduce George. Josephine is a woman who wins and loses at the same time. | |||||
