I work with writers of all abilities & at all stages to get the very best out of their work.

 

Stuck on an initial concept? Hit a wall? Need one last pair of eyes for a final draft?

Whatever your script needs, get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help.

Some kind words from others…

 

“Martha is one of the most dramaturgically gifted creatives that I’ve ever met … she understands the importance of the world behind the character that an audience is shown, and comes to know…working with her is nothing short of a pleasure” 

— Jack Miles

“Martha is a dramaturgical genius. Her work with writers to bring their vision and ideas to life is something magical to witness. Her ability to understand and nurture their work is second to none and her compassion, energy and enthusiasm is reflected in the work she creates.”

— Katie Wilmore & James Leggat

“…a fountain of ideas and new possibilities… I believe whatever Martha writes and thereafter, creates in production will have originality, verve and energy”

— Sir Trevor Nunn

 

“Martha has been a steady, guiding presence who has truly helped us shape our show… Without her it would not have reached its true potential… as a young writer, I have hugely appreciated her guidance and knowledge”

When I sent Martha the very first dregs of Agatha she immediately understood the story I wanted to tell, the characters I had written and most importantly their relationships to each other. Working on it with her as director and dramaturg has been the most positive process. She has an understanding and grasp of structure without being totally bound to it and a vision that has made me more excited for this project than I thought possible.
