I'm a playwright and theatre-maker. I write film scripts (and, recently, fairytales!) I sometimes get involved in other people's projects as a writer / dramaturg. I had poems / short stories / plays published. I worked for several years as a journalist and theatre critic. I'm Greek but I write in English. I did an MA in Political Philosophy, York University, MPhil in Playwriting, Birmingham University and a PhD at Roehampton University London ("The New Dramatic Play: Reflections of Practice, Process, Theory"). I've just moved from London to Glasgow, Scotland. I travel. Happily, my writing travels too.
