In Progress

As part of the 21/22 Soho Writers Lab I wrote a full length play called “ Just a F#@k Boy with Feelings” which was submitted to the Tony Craze Award. In Summer of 2022 it had a preview at Tara Theatre facilitated by Associate Artistic Director Natasha Kathi- Chandra. It is currently under a Seed commission by Kala Sangam Arts x Jaivant Patel Company and is receiving dramaturgical support by Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE.

It’s a story loosely inspired by my own journey as well my experience in working with several LGBTQ+ charities and survivors of drug addiction, homelessness and sex workers. At the core of the story questions our connection to each other as humans, ideology of love and a grasp on reality we hold.

I am currently reworking the script and asking questions such as; The relevancy of the story itself? the form it is being told in? Can we ever find piece and joy? Do we have the ability to heal and forgive? What is nature vs nurture? How do we connect to each other as humans? Are we meant for love? What is love? What is our understanding of time and reality?
