I was born in a country that doesn’t exist anymore, the year Chernobyl blew up and photography was still in black and white. In 2020, Germany’s Bühne Magazin included me in their “5 exciting female playwrights under 35 to watch”. I’m not under 35 anymore. Hopefully still exciting.

My shows have been described as “madcap” (The Stage, U.K.) and I do love odd humour and surreal moments, splattered between socio-political themes. As a self-producing writer-director, I’ve explored ageing, reproductive choices and migration. Currently, I’m associate artist at neimënster, Luxembourg (2023-2026).

My plays have been performed in Luxembourg (neimënster, Théâtre d’Esch, Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg, Mierscher Kulturhaus), Germany (Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe), Lithuania (Kaunas City Chambre Theatre, Vilnius Arts Printing House) and the U.K. (Camden People’s Theatre, VAULT Festival). My show stark bollock naked won BEST NEW SHOW at the Luxembourg Theatre Awards and was nominated for an Artists’ Choice Award at VAULT Festival London. Good Girls was awarded at the Kaunas City Theatre Awards.

Writing commissions include texts for Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, Germany, and Centre National de Littérature, Luxembourg.

I also write and direct films. My short film If We Smarten Up won numerous awards, including Best Short Film.

Drama Centre London (University of the Arts) graduate. Acting work represented by Agentur Peter Fley in Cologne, Germany. Credits here.
