I was a professional actor for many years before moving into theatre administration. I then set up my own theatre company Conspirators' Kitchen which is devoted to producing new writing. I am a recipient of a Stage One New Producers Award.

'The past is a very dangerous place'
 
Two people, united by blood and separated by time, weave the tapestry of their lives.
Loretta arrives in Victorian England as a wide-eyed young Ayah for two children. Her dream is to earn enough money to pay for a ticket back to her beloved Indian homeland. However fate intervenes leaving her destined to a controversial, colourful life in Victorian London.
A century later, Loretta's great great grandson Kalil leaves his East African homeland to start a life in England. He dreams of respect and the good life for his family but, as it did for his ancestor, fate intervenes.
