Awards 2021:

Arts Council Agility Award to record songs from Green Feather Boa and work on my new play, A Bedtime Story For Adults.
Cork City Council Heritage Grant for Memories of a Cork Jewish Childhood.

Late 2020:
​My Cork Jewish Culture Virtual Walk project
 received a National Heritage Week 2020 award. You can view it here. 

Throughout lockdown, the development of Green Feather Boa continued, with a full reading with five actors on Zoom, a re-write (resulting in the fourth draft now being complete) and the scoring of the songs. You can now see a photocollage with music from the second reading, in Cork City Hall, here.​

Both of these projects were supported by Cork City Council.
