Written by James Meteyard and myself, No Man’s Island tells the two-decade-long story of Blaze FM, a pirate radio station that represents more than just music to the people who have strenuously fought to keep it alive: a community, family, freedom, hope and love. A small flat located in a council estate in Hackney, four walls shaken by historical events, the insistent knocking of authorities, personal secrets unravelling, and – always – the loud, majestic sound of jungle and grime: this is a safe space for those who are discriminated against, alienated, threatened to be deported and expected to fail by a society that sets them up for failure.

As well as co-writing the play, I was also responsible for the initial research stage, as well as the creation and composition of the play's musical soundtrack & lyrics
