Martha is a playwright, screenwriter and comedy creative originally from Jersey, Channel Islands. She is currently working as a Writing Associate for Screenwriter Oliver Lansley. Martha is represented by Jessica Cooper at Curtis Brown.

 

Having moved to London in 2023, Martha’s one-woman comedy play ‘SHELL’ enjoyed a sold-out WIP run at The Hope Theatre and was later programmed by Theatre503 in 2024. ‘SHELL’ has been described by audiences as “an absolutely beautiful exploration of grief and growing up” and “wonderfully relatable and hilarious.”

 

Martha started writing for theatre aged just 14 years old when her first play ‘Broken Record (Repeat to Fade)’ was selected to be staged by now Artistic Director of Northern Stage Natalie Ibu. Following this, Martha became the youngest ever writer-in-residence with Paines Plough as part of their national playwriting initiative ‘Come to Where I’m From’.

 

Martha is a credited writer on open-door sketch comedy show ‘DM’s Are Open’ and she has been shortlisted for a Funny Women Award.

 

She is also currently working on her debut novel.
