Susan is the author of four plays and worked, for several years, as playwright and workshop facilitator for Something Permanent, an educational theatre company with bases in both the UK and Toronto, Canada.
Her first play, Two Of Me Now, is a poetic drama about biological and literary motherhood, as reflected in the lives and work of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath. Intimately connected through their language and the play’s central image of the sea, the two writers engage in a dialogue on female creativity in life and art.
Two Of Me Now has been performed throughout the UK, at the Summerworks Theatre Festival in Toronto, and at Helsinki, Turku and Tampere Universities in Finland, with the support of the British Council. It has also been published by Cecil Woolf (Virginia’s nephew!) in his literary/academic imprint, the Bloomsbury Heritage Series.
