'Banana Bread'
Marcus, played by Conor Merrifield, Thea, played by myself, and Ellie played by Abigail Corten have reunited after years apart to mourn the death of their school teacher.
I am a BA (Hons) Drama and Acting graduate with a love for comedy and a new-found passion for stage and screenplay writing.
While at UWE, I improved my acting skills by learning how to effectively develop and give a convincing portrayal of the various characters I was assigned to play. I put these skills to good use in a staff-directed third-year production of Shakespeare’s 'Much Ado About Nothing' in which I was given the honour of playing Beatrice, the quick-witted female lead. Moreover, across the three years, I learned the components required to format and write enthralling scripts for both stage and screen. I applied these when writing the mockumentary pilot I submitted as my third-year portfolio which in the near future I aim to pitch to a production company, direct and star in.

Girls Brew explores the shared life experiences girls have, and how these events, despite being unique to each person, result in similar life lessons which shape the individual.
'Bad Memories' is a self-written monologue from the perspective of Thea, directed at her Mother.
