I developed Coconut with creative partner and playwright, Guleraana MIr as Director and Dramaturg. from a 15 minute monologue which I commissioned in 2014, through R&D periods at Park Theatre, New Diorama Theatre and Ovalhouse to full production.
Coconut was the best-selling show at Ovalhouse of 2018.
In June 2018, Coconut went on a UK tour supported by In Good Company & Lincolnshire One venues.
The Coconut playtext is published by Samuel French.
