Last night I went to see Nish Kumar’s full throttle hilarious stand up “Nish, Don’t Kill My Vibe”. The incendiary political anger, funny as fuck assault on the senses - and the brutally honest asides on his own mental health made it Bill Hicks level special. www.alexandrapalace.com/whats-on/nis...

Last weekend I went to see my play “Middle” or “Midt I Livet” in Aarhus, Denmark. It’s always a boon when a play travels 🇩🇰

A few weeks ago I really enjoyed doing "The le Carré Cast - A podcast on the world of John le Carré" where I had the opportunity not just to talk about adapting "The Spy Who Came in from The Cold" but playwriting in general and my upcoming ITV show "Betrayal". lecarrecast.com/2024/11/12/i...

"Every love story has a final chapter..." Also this autumn news that Rufus Norris's tenure at the National Theatre ends, with the final play in my trilogy, END. Look out for news and tickets on sale in February! The play is directed by Rachel O’Riordan: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/news/rufus-n...

Getting my profile here running... This autumn my TV show for Mammoth Screen and ITV, BETRAYAL, was announced. Its a 4 part series shooting next year that I've written for Shaun Evans who plays an MI5 officer struggling in his personal life and at work. Link here: deadline.com/2024/09/itv-...
