About

I have four collections of poetry, published in the UK. My love of poetry informs all my work as a playwright and filmmaker.

My latest play, Party Trap, is a single hour-long palindrome, telling the story of a journalist who finds his own words turned against him.

My documentary, Stand-By For Tape Back-Up, was adapted from my previous stage show. The film won the Grand Jury prize for Experimental Film at BAFICI, Argentina.

I produce the experimental storytelling podcast, Imaginary Advice (Best Fiction Podcasts; The Telegraph). My radio work appears regularly on BBC Radio 4.
