WRITER/AUTHOR/THEATREMAKER

Naomi is a screenwriter, author, activist, and former anthropologist whose voice is as fearless as it is essential. Naomi’s theatre work has wowed audiences across the UK - from the Royal Court Theatre to Bush Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, Other Palace Theatre, Criterion, Arcola, Birmingham Rep and beyond - and internationally too: from off-Broadway to stages in Canada, Chile, Malawi, Germany and more. Her plays are female-led, character-driven, and tackle the issues of our time with humour, heart,
and often a sharp wit.

• PUPPY - queer, female-forward rom-com praised by Time Out & The Guardian; a VAULT Festival hit with a 4-week revival at the King’s Head Theatre.
• BATMAN - bold and unflinching, exploring grief and trauma; toured East Africa with a UK tour on the way.
• Happy Death Club - a powerful, deeply honest book on trauma, identity and resilience.
• widely read Guardian journalism, including her
acclaimed piece on her mother, loss and reclaiming truth.

On screen:
• HOLD - winner, Northern Film School screenplay prize (short film)
• MATURITY - winner, Raindance “Ammo Live” (feature film)
• The Faultly Elephants - TV dramedy pilot about a disabled heist gang; now optioned and in development.

Beyond her writing, Naomi is a passionate activist for disability and LGBTQ+ rights, serving on multiple boards and speaking widely on mental health, chronic illness and medical misogyny.
