The Work

Every story I tell needs an audience.

I write for two kinds of theatre.

Some of my plays are written for traditional production, where actors and audiences meet across the fourth wall. Others invite audiences into the story itself, asking them to question suspects, follow clues, and become part of the performance.

They’re different theatrical forms.
They begin with the same belief.

The audience completes the play.
