A devised play – all about Northampton


Posted on


Myself and 6 other artists embarked on a project about one year ago, all about Northampton. The projects inception came from the Director Andy Routledge who has pioneered in how he has led us all to create 60 Miles by Road or Rail. We interviewed a variety of people and researched extensively into the history and politics of Northampton. The project received Arts Council Funding which really helped up to achieve the in depth understanding of Northampton. The show was sold out at The Royal and Derngate theatre and was only on for one night but fingers crossed we get another go at it!

Take a look at the website here and some of the engagement work I did at Dostyo – An Asian Women’s Charity here. We also encourage everyone and anyone from the town or living there, to leave their stories.

Come to where I’m from – Paines Plough at The Royal & Derngate

I was kindly recommended as Playwright, by my local theatre, the Royal and Derngate, when Paines Plough were looking for Northampton based writers.

Myself, DC Moore, Louise Brealey and Robin Soans all performed short pieces about Northampton at the Royal and Derngate Theatre.

Paines Plough travel across the country capturing stories by writers about their hometown and recording them via an online app.

The Middle, the piece that I wrote for the event, will be posted on the app soon.
