About

“The Collector” is a tale of creeping darkness, set during the Coalition's occupation of Iraq, as a team of prison guards become brutalised by war.
“Echoes” is a bloody story of colonialism—ancient and modern—and the rhyme of history, drawing astonishing parallels between the lives of a Jihadi bride and a Victorian pioneer.
Angel is set in a Syrian town, where the apparently indestructible Angel of Kobane—a crackshot sniper with a hundred kills to her name—is all that stands between the town's citizens and the fearsome approach of ISIS.
All three plays premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 2014 and 2016, and have subsequently toured the UK and globally, including runs in London, around Australia and at New York's 59E59 Theaters.
