MULTI-TASKING CREDITS
In August 2012 I premiered my stage play Queue at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. I wrote the script and composed original music for the show as well as acting five characters: Queue Doctor, Ms Gibbons, Dellen, Gina and Girl 2. (A trailer of Queue is on my YouTube channel)
In December 2011 I toured South & Mid Wales with A Batty Menagerie (new theatre play), written and directed by Ioan Hefin. I composed the original score and played three characters, as well as piano and violin.
At 16 years old I formed a theatre company and premiered my own show, In the Nick of Time - The Musical (a full stage production approx 1 hour, 30 minutes) at a local theatre. I was the composer, lyricist and scriptwriter and scored the music for a small orchestra. I also choreographed the dances and played the leading role. I self-published the musical and I'm rights holder. Librettos and scores can be purchased from myself or French's Bookshop in London.

OTHER SCRIPTWRITING WORKS
My new one-act play, The Invisible Wall, was selected for a rehearsed reading performance at the Arena Theatre Wolverhampton in February 2015 as part of the Arena Collaborative Theatremakers programme. The play was directed by Simon Corble and performed by Sharli Reynolds and Becky Wright. Set in a trendy cafe, it is a psychological, absurdist/sci-fi drama about isolation, technology and cults.
Several further theatre and film scripts of various lengths and genres. Please enquire if you're interested in producing a new piece - I may have just what you're looking for or I can write to a brief.
OTHER COMPOSING/SONGWRITING WORKS
I started writing songs at the age of 6 and I've continued to compose many songs and unnamed piano pieces over the years.
My first composition to be performed publicly was Winter in the Valley for string orchestra (a year before In the Nick of Time).
More recently I've recorded a 6-minute contemporary/alternative piece and an EP of four songs with A/C, pop and rock influences. I also sing and play keyboard on the recordings.
