Morgana at School        (2019-Ongoing) An opera based on a crucial moment in the life of Arthurian character                                             Morgan le Fay, in which she faces the end of her magical education and relative safety                                           at a convent after the death of her stepfather, the King. Libretto by Sara Fetherolf,                                                   instrumentation mixed modern and renaissance instruments.

Allways                            (2017) An immersive play based on the letters of Environmentalist Rachel Carson and                                               her closest friend Dorothy Freeman. The work explored ways in which the pair, who’s                                               relationship existed almost entirely over letters, might have interacted had their long-                                             distance conversations happened under the same roof. This work is a deep dive into                                               the range of friendship to lover, examining love in its many forms.
