Dramaturgy
I am an experienced, hands on dramaturg with a particular interest in work that is political, Queer, thrilling, and highly theatrical. I can support you with scripts in development through reading, noting, external research and conversation, and in the room through rehearsal feedback, exercises and table work.

Working with Frank was a complete joy. I arrived feeling stuck and bogged down with an early draft of a new script that I couldn't move forward with and left full of excitement and ideas. Frank's incredibly thoughtful, easy and comfortable to work with. She's an expert in her field and gives intelligent, useful notes as well as a whole reading list of plays relevant to your work. She's brilliant. If you have the opportunity to work with her then you absolutely should.
