Thrilled to be a part of Yellow Coat Theatre’s monologue series Pass It On.
My monologue, The Evil Eye, will be presented on 30th October and 2nd of November.
I’ve been writing a lot about learning to fall in love with my Greek heritage as an adult living in the UK. Growing up first-generation came with a lot of challenges and this monologue is all about the Greek superstitions that I have subconsciously carried into adulthood. Not to spoil too much but I have mixed feeling about it.

WOVEN VOICES PRIZE
Very excited to announce that my play Girls Go Away has made the Longlist for the Woven Voices Prize 2025 in partnership with the Gate Theatre.
Last April 2024, I read Ann Fessler’s book The Girls Who Went Away, a collection of oral histories of women who as young girls found themselves pregnant, sent to homes for unwed mothers and many times forced to surrender their children for adoption. I was so moved and angered by their stories that it took me a month to finish the book.
This past summer I completed the play inspired by these young girls because I felt this was a topic of bodily autonomy we rarely speak about.
I am so honoured for this recognition and excited to see what is to come for this story. Congratulations to all the writers who have made the list.
Setting the Sky on Fire
Playful Substance and Co are hard at work turning my play Setting the Sky on Fire into a radio play!
The play I finished back in 2021 is about the women who lived and worked at Los Alamos during the creation of the atomic bomb. The play all takes place during the night of the Trinity Test.
I am so excited to share this story in a very different but fun medium.
