I'm a playwright and theatre-maker. Sometimes I write other stuff too (film scripts, children's books and, more recently, narrative video games) or I get involved in other people's projects as a writer / dramaturg. Some of my poems / short stories / plays have appeared in print. I worked for several years as a journalist and theatre critic. I'm Greek but I write in English. I studied philosophy at the universities of Crete and York (a little bit in the UoE too). I did an MPhil in Playwriting at Birmingham University and a PhD at Roehampton University, London. I'm based in the UK but I travel. Happily, my writing travels too.
