Biography

I joined the School as a part-time Lecturer in Theatre in September 2021, having previously taught across several modules on both the BA in Theatre: Writing, Directing and Performance and the MA in Theatre-Making. I have also taught in the Drama Department at the University of Manchester and in the Drama, Theatre and Dance Department at Royal Holloway, where I completed my PhD in 2018.
 

My research interests span a range of contemporary theatre practices, with a focus on playwriting, the relationship between text and performance, and ecodramaturgy. I have published journal articles and book chapters on the work of practitioners including Simon Stephens, Katie Mitchell, Tim Crouch and Elevator Repair Service.

Alongside my teaching and research, I work as a freelance arts journalist and theatre critic. I regularly review theatre across the North of England for the Guardian, as well as contributing to other publications, podcasts and radio shows.
