plays

Some of the characters from my plays are now making their way into my scripts as a screenwriter.

One of the beauties of theatre is to see and hear the audience react.

It's a good indicator to check if you've nailed the intended response, or not. It's nerve-racking too.

Full-length plays (60+ mins)

Raw Beauty 100 mins incl. one interval (earlier version of the script reached 2nd round Papatango 2018)

Dark comedy drama 4-hander

Synopsis

KAI and RACHEL are a couple. But they've reached a point where they question (loudly and in public) whether they want to be a couple anymore. Then an attack on the street forces a decision.

Raw Beauty is about loss and grief and love and hope and the state of the world today – and why it's never a good idea to give blood on an empty stomach.

Performed in Barcelona, Spain (Nov 2019, Jan 2020, Feb 2020)

Actors. Julia Fossi, Nick Dutton, Alba Miquel, Lucy O'Shea

Raw Beauty - audience feedback

"A splendid show, witty, moving, beautifully written, performed, directed, lit." - PAULA B

'It made me laugh, made me cry, made me feel that I'm not alone because most of the time I don't understand the world either." - ZAZIL C

"What I enjoyed most in the play was how the male nurse continually had Kai rethinking her motives and actions and by the end, it was Kai’s observation of one of his remarks that had him pause and take note. Very subtle shift in the character development of both." - MARK S

"It was brilliant and we enjoyed it very much." - CARLA P

"Brilliantly written and so well put together. Actors are awesome. I loved it!" - SEV K
