PLAYWRITING

Original Plays
Merdeka Ever After (forthcoming)
- a play about colonialism, identity and trauma, following the events of 1940's Indonesia as they ripple on today. 
Written with support from the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund, the Ontario Arts Council and Pat the Dog Theatre Creation.


Down the Fox Hole (2021) - In an allegorical world that’s much like our own, animal characters bite, claw and howl for survival, power, and attention—just like we do. “Down the Fox Hole” is a vast, satirical play about discourse, accountability, and privilege. It asks its audience to reconsider how we treat our world, and how we treat each other. 
Written with support from the Ontario Arts Council, Soulpepper, and Green Light Arts.

A selfish emperor cares more about fancy crowns than anything else in the whole world. So when a trickster crafts a beautiful crown that only smart people can see, the emperor must have it for himself. The question is: can he see the crown, if it even exists?
