There’s a lot of my wider family in the play. I have to say that I wasn’t always conscious of that when I was writing it, but when family saw the play they would say, ‘Oh that’s so and so…’ and I couldn’t deny there were elements of that person, but that was never the point or intention and some characters were definitely not family.
All I am is a playwright. Everything I want to say I say in the play – or, to be clearer, that is all I feel I have the authority to say. It’s an extremely complex issue morally and legally. If provoking the debate is being an activist, then yes, I am an activist.

I see them pretty clearly to be honest (not sure how my Dad would answer this!?). There are traits in characters I recognise very clearly in family members which is kind of insane to be living with on stage. It’s like a perverse version of The Truman Show!
Like any play. It’s about people. Whether about this or love or money or whatever… it’s always still about people.
I do write yeah. I’m co-developing a TV series currently, and I’ll be directing a short I’ve written nearer the end of the year.
