CHASE TALES - Birmingham Rep - writer | composer | performer
Chase Tales was written with co-writer Rae Mainwaring. We were commissioned by Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles to write stories and songs about Cannock Chase for a re-vamp of their popular heritage trail. Chase Tales will be launched in Spring 2024. I also got to play Winnie, the narrator and Rae makes a cameo as a chatty vole! Absolutely loved producing this music for this one!
SPOON IN A JAR - narrator | singer
Over the moon (quite literally) to be part of the storytelling team for Spoon in a Jar productions. Author and musician Jo Walter and illustrator and musician Ning-ning Li have written incredible stories and they're all performed with new and original music. You can see more and buy the books here.
BRIGHT PLACES - Birmingham Rep - Actor
