His playwriting credits include co-writing The Keepers, a comedic and poignant piece about the ravens of the Tower of London, exploring what it is like to be born into duty. First performed at the Corbett Theatre at East 15 with a subsequent run at the Etcetera Theatre Camden, it was met with great acclaim by Chris Skaife, Raven Master of the Tower and audiences alike.
