The Treehouse
The Treehouse explores the intersections of Madness with family, grief and the natural world. Jessie and Mac, two adult siblings, reunite after months of distance to build a treehouse in a little patch of forest.
The Treehouse script has been developed alongside a dynamic set concept by designer Kenneth MacLeod. The play features integrated BSL and audio description.
The Treehouse won Best Play by a Woman, Trans or Nonbinary Playwright at the 2026 Adam NZ Play Awards.
The initial development of this play was funded by Creative Scotland’s Open Fund for Individuals. Further development and a Scottish tour has been planned for 2027/28. Click here for more information about this project.

Et alia
Et alia uses the Scottish mythical figure of the kelpie, a shapeshifting water spirit, to engage with monstrosity, science and violence. This one-act play is a queer two-hander set in a biological research laboratory beneath the shadow of ongoing ecological collapse.
Et alia is currently being re-developed for production with support from the Glasgow Playwrights Collective.
