WRITING
Writing is my safe space.
Words allow me to make beautiful things, express my thoughts and change the world.
I have been writing and performing for fifteen years. I trained as a writer, actor and performer in the Netherlands; performed and taught stand-up comedy for nearly a decade and use my experience as a performer in various ways, such as teaching public speaking skills to autistic and neurodivergent people. I have written articles about comedy and theatre for fringereview.co.uk and chortle.co.uk.

Frank and Sara’s minds take centre stage; stimming, echoing, falling in and out of love, radicalising and learning to survive in a world that doesn’t even have a name for who they are. Their story, set in a rural world on the brink of modernity, is placed against that of Marinus van der Lubbe, whose actions make him the centrepiece of historical machinations completely out of his controhelp you create unforgettable memories.
