I am a theatre director, writer, dramaturg, and academic.

As a theatre maker, I have worked in the UK, US, and Greece. Since 2011 I have been co-artistic of the Theatre of the Gentle Furies. My practice-based research with the Gentle Furies informs my work for CoastARTS, on which I am Co-I for the UK team. CoastARTS is a multi-national research project that brings together artists and academics from Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and the UK to explore arts-based methods for addressing complex ecocultural crises in North Atlantic coastal zones.

As part of my freelance theatre work, I was Visiting Research Associate at King’s College London from 2015-2021, where I oversaw the revitalisation of the Department of Classics’ longstanding annual tradition of staging an ancient Greek play in the original language. I am a trustee for the longest-running company working with ancient Greek drama in the UK, the Actors of Dionysus.

At Royal Holloway, I am an associate of the Centre for the Reception of Greece and Rome, and co-convene the annual postgraduate symposium in the reception of ancient Greek and Roman drama that is held in conjunction with the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama at the University of Oxford.

Both my research and practice explore the adaptation of traditional narratives (including myths and canonical works) to address contemporary social, cultural, and political issues. I am especially interested in feminist, queer, and ecocritical work that takes place in the British theatre ecology, though I have published on a wide range of subjects from comic books to popular cinema.

I welcome enquiries from prospective postgraduate research students on any of these areas.

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, with an ongoing interest in the intersection of embedding social and environmental justice into higher education.

I co-convene Royal Holloway’s MA Theatre Directing. I am Careers and Professionalisation Lead for Drama, working with alumni and arts professionals to curate an annual series of careers enrichment activities. As part of this role I am the liaison for the SU’s Drama Academic Community and oversee The Student Workshop, Drama’s student-led theatre company.

At both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, I teach modules related to storytelling, adaptation, Greek drama, and theatre directing. Beyond this, I co-lead Royal Holloway’s Carbon Literacy Training initiative, which led to the university received Carbon Literacy Project’s Bronze Award in 2025.

From 2019-2022 I was part of the team that developed the college's Integrated Foundation Year in its initial three-year pilot stage.
