Emma is an award-winning writer from East Anglia. Her first play PATTERNS won the Michael Ross Award from RADA for the Academy’s Best New Play and has since gone on to be shortlisted for Theatre503’s International Playwriting Prize and secured her spots on programmes with the Mercury Theatre, Arvon Foundation, BFI, Soho Theatre and Boundless Theatre. Her second play I REALLY DO THINK THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE was selected as the Mercury Theatre’s inaugural Page to Stage Original and was taken to Edinburgh Fringe as one of Pleasance’s National Partnerships productions supported by ThickSkin. Labelling Emma as ‘one of the undoubted stars of the future’, the show received a 5-star, critically acclaimed run and was listed in Best Theatre of the Fringe lists for Playbill, The Scotsman and Pleasance as well as being shortlisted for The Stage Innovation Award and Stagey Place Awards.

With work that is formally innovative, politically charged and audience-centric, Emma’s work has been described as ‘bold, unflinching and impossible to ignore’ and ‘unlike anything we have seen before’. It has toured the UK on stages such as Soho Theatre, Theatre503, Arcola Theatre, Leicester Curve, Summerhall, Harlow Playhouse, Key Theatre and The Pleasance. She’s been shortlisted for the Women in Theatre Lab, Off-West End Adopt a Playwright Prize, BBC Writersroom and ITV Original Voices as well as featuring on BBC Introducing.

Emma is now developing several new projects for screen and stage.
