PLAYWRITING: PEGGED

PEGGED is a new satirical play about a man who fakes a queer identity for fame and ends up losing himself in the process.

Watch this space.

DRAMATURGY: Smalltown Boy

Smalltown Boy by Brenda Callis is a heartbreakingly joyful play about grief, community, and growing up queer in a rural town, explored through the explosive storytelling medium of drag.

Smalltown Boy was given a seed grant and support from Bristol Old Vic’s Ferment Scheme in 2023/24. It had a sold-out work-in-progress sharing at Bristol Old Vic in March 2024, and had further script development with their Literary Department.

It is touring the South West and London in early 2026 after a successful ACE grant.

DRAMATURGY: Space Jam, The (Unofficial Parody) Musical

Space Jam: The (Unofficial Parody) Musical by RiverKite follows the adventures of basketball legend "Baikal Gordon" and his clumsy sidekick "Sam Cadullaque" as Baikal is enlisted to save the legally distinct inhabitants of cartoon world from a group of evil space aliens.

This full-length musical features real-life actors alongside an animated cast, performed live on stage! 

With a fully original score, all new animation built from the ground up, and top-notch voice talent bringing the cartoon cast to life, take a trip back to 1996 and experience a hilarious musical spoof of an all-time classic complete with fresh twists and surprises...

OUTSIDE EYE: THE COLOUR OF DINOSAURS

A rip-roaring, prehistoric science pop gig for curious humans of all ages.
Picture a dinosaur roaming through an ancient forest... millions of years later, a scientist called Jakob discovers its amazing fossilised remains and tells its incredible, colourful story, revealing secrets we could never have imagined.

Based on real scientific research, The Colour of Dinosaurs is a musical kids show exploring science and discovery and celebrating diversity and inclusion.

My role here was as a scientific interpreter, helping to translate the science and assisting the writer, Malaika Kegode.
