I love the collaboration and creativity that comes from working on new writing. When working as a Dramaturg and Script Reader, I do so with care making sure that the writer's ambitions are at the heart of my feedback. I don't impose my own ideas on a writer, but rather interpreting and helping them find what theirs are.
I have been a script reader for The National Theatre of Scotland and The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh for 4 years.
