She was Writer-in-Residence at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre for the Pushkin Trust in July 2007. She recently won first prize in the Northern Ireland Spinetinglers Dark Fiction competition for Blood and was selected for the 2009 Poetry Ireland Introduction series of emerging poets.
Her play, The Moth-Hour, has been nominated for a number of awards and her most recent play, Leopoldville, was this year short-listed for the Adrienne Benham Award as well as the 2009 Kings Cross Award for New Writing, taking runner-up. Playwright David Hare has just selected Leopoldville as a finalist in the 2010 Yale Drama Series Playwriting Competition. Leopoldville is to be staged in London in 2010.
Admission to the event is, of course, free and finger-food is served compliments of the White House proprietor. A word of advice, arrive early to get good seats!! See you then...
