About

I am a playwright, screenwriter, and producer. My work includes Dickless (New Town Theatre), Outsourced (Brick Theater), Kindling (Etcetera Theatre), Lyle & Sephy Get Married (Almeida Theatre Festival), Rain and My Father's Funeral (NYU).

I am a recipient of the 2009 North London Film Fund Award for my original screenplay, Welcome to Neverland. I've performed and directed theatre as part of the Young Friends of the Almeida, Pleasance Young Company and Globe Theatre education projects in London, and at the University of Ghana.

I am a graduate of Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where I received a bachelor's degree in Dramatic Writing. I've also studied directing at the University of Ghana, and have a postgraduate certificate in Playwriting and Dramaturgy from the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
