ONE A LOT (librettist, maker, performer)
I’m currently gathering information and mulling over themes and scenes in my head for the third part of my trilogy, One a Lot. After performing Two Across at multiple theatre festivals, the third part is happening in May 2026. The full trilogy of spoken operas will be performed in 2027.
BOOKISH (actress)
Something different but exciting: Bookish, a British crime drama television series, launches on July 16th on Alibi, which you can find on Sky 109 and Virgin 114.
