It has been a joy to be on the panel for this year’s super strong ETPEP Award. National playwriting competitions such as these provide insight into what’s eating us, even a sense of what is to come. Congrats to significant emerging talent Saana Sze, a name I’m sure you’ll hear frequently from now on.
I hosted the #FinboroughForum online this month, in conversation w/ Philip Shelley, the script consultant/ editor associated with the Channel 4 screenwriting course. Marvellous insight. Thanks to all who attended this zoom event – catch the recording here:
All bar one of the remaining performances of IMAGINATIONSHIP at the Finborough Theatre have now sold out. Very limited tickets remaining for the Tuesday MATINEE on Jan 16 only. If you plan on coming, please Book soon!
IMAGINATIONSHIP has sold out four of the remaining six performances already! Please book your tickets asap if you’re planning on coming to see my new play at the Finborough Theatre , London.
Directed by Tricia Thorns, the play is set in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. 59-year-old Ginnie attempts to seduce her unrequited love, the nymphomaniac Brenda. Attila is from Hungary but has ended up scraping an existence in Yarmouth – and pursues Melody who is obsessed with her commitment phobic evening-class tutor, Tony. Power-plays and relationships clash until a seduction too far leads to mass murder.
Set in this marginalised Brexit town, Imaginationship explores obsession, sex addiction, and the devastating effect of imbalanced relationships, not least between immigrants and locals, London and the regions.
Featuring:
Joanna Bending – Melody
Jilly Bond – Ginnie
Atilla Akinci – Gediminas
John Sackville – Baz
Bart Suavek – Attila
Patience Tomlinson – Brenda
Rupert Wickham – Tony
Hugely excited to announce that my darkly funny play IMAGINATIONSHIP will run at the Finborough Theatre , London, for three weeks in January 2018.

Attila is from Hungary but has ended up scraping an existence in Yarmouth – and pursues Melody who is obsessed with her cold and distant evening-class tutor, Tony. Power-plays and relationships clash until a seduction too far leads to mass murder.
