I am currently working on a new play called 150 Years.  It is for adult audiences.

150 Years tells the story of five British female friends (the girls) and their friendship over thirty years.  Born in 1965, the school friends go on to lead very different lives and to have very different relationships and families.  We glimpse their lives in fragments only when they are with one another, never seeing their partners or children, and we bear witness as they grow from mere girls of twenty to ‘wise’ women of fifty.  Set against a turbulent background of sexual liberation, rising individualism and consumerism, racial tension and post feminist apathy, 150 Years is a women’s play about the domestic and public lives of the ‘have it all’ generation.  Looking in holistically at the girls’ lives the play will look at marriage, motherhood, ageing, friendship, work and money, bereavement and loss.  It will examine how women talk when they are alone together and crucially what is left unsaid. 

I intend to create a script which speaks to the lives of British middle aged women and create broad, meaty and challenging roles for female performers.
