Role: JAMES


"My mother always calls me a disappointment..."


The first line of a script written overnight for a 24hr Play Project at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot. Since then, this beautiful script has continued to grow and appeared at a scratch night at the Old Fire Station in Oxford. A full version of this two-person play is currently in development, supported by OffBeat Festival 2021.
