Projects
The Pomegranate Theory
A pomegranate holds hundreds of seeds — each one a distinct life, a distinct story. The fruit that holds them is the Higher Self: the whole that makes sense of every part. These projects are the seeds.

Three by Samuel Beckett-Not I, Eh Joe, Rockabye
Edinburgh Fringe 2026
A woman's mouth speaks faster than thought can follow. A man alone with the voice he cannot silence. A figure in a rocking chair, descending into stillness. Three lives. Three reckonings. Three short plays about people standing at the edge of catharsis, alone. Together, they form an art-house triptych of extraordinary intimacy and power-spare, beautiful, and haunting in their insistence that language might just set us free.
