"Smart, sensitively handled and – crucially – a lot of fun"

THE GUARDIAN

A joyful, kaleidoscopic family show about change, why change happens – and how to deal with it.

I co-wrote and directed my first work for young people, Everything Has Changed, in the midst of - and in response to - the COVID pandemic. It was a joyous experience and it toured to primary schools all across London, just as children were allowed back into classrooms. It’s live extended beyond the pandemic, and took Edinburgh Festival Fringe ‘22 by storm, racking up a load of top notch reviews and delighting audiences before transferring to the Southbank Centre. It has since toured the UK, and is hitting new found relevance with the climate movement among young people.
