Writing:
Memory, Identity, Transformation
I write cinematic, emotionally charged stories that blend poetic realism with historical depth. My characters, queers, artists, women, dreamers, stand at the edge of change, fighting to be seen, remembered and loved.
A sweeping, intimate prestige drama about J.C. Leyendecker, the visionary illustrator who gave America its first male sex symbol and the great love of his life, Charles Beach, the real man behind “The Arrow Collar Man.”
In the glittering 1920s, Leyendecker and Beach create an icon of masculine perfection that transforms advertising and hides their own forbidden love in plain sight.
​
Three decades later, under the shadow of Executive Order 10450, a postwar investigator arrives at their crumbling estate. His mission: expose Charles as a security risk. But as he uncovers their story, he falls under its spell and into a dangerous intimacy that could destroy them both.
Told across dual timelines (1924 / 1951), this is an intimate epic about art, love, repression, and the fight to keep memory alive.

A groundbreaking grunge opera I co-wrote and directed, praised as “gig theatre at its best.” The show follows Kurt through a surreal purgatorial space, guided by The Fates — a live band whose sound evolves from punk to full grunge. Featuring immersive staging, haze, bold lighting, and emotional physicality, it was celebrated for its originality and atmosphere.

A luminous reimagining of a forgotten night in radio history.
On a spring evening in the 1920s, celebrated cellist Beatrice Harrison performs live from her Surrey garden, joined in song by a nightingale. It becomes one of the BBC’s earliest broadcasts, enchanting the world over.
​
But behind the poetry lies a story of courage and constraint: a woman fighting to be taken seriously in a man’s world, balancing class expectations, grief, and ambition. As her music mingles with the birdsong, the performance becomes an act of defiance and hope.
Told with meticulous period detail and a shimmer of magic realism, this is a comment on art’s power to transcend class, gender, and time itself.
