She has been Artistic Director at LYT for twenty years. Over the years, it became harder to find scripts that reflected the lives of the participants, so she turned to writing plays. Helen has written around fifteen plays for ages eight to twenty-five, mainly devised and written with young people.
Helen’s work often explores the relationship between the child and parent with an adventurous twist. She works hard to give every actor a moment to shine, as well as often focusing on female-led stories. Space Girl is her first published play.
Helen is now a freelance theatre practitioner and playwright. She continues to create work with and for people of all ages.view less
