Tilly Lunken
London (Greater London)
I am a freelance writer with varied practice in making theatre and digital work. My approach is constantly playful and professional and I have extensive experience in both devised spaces and more traditional writing roles. I am currently writing Undermined – The Fatberg Musical! (45North, The Other Palace Studio, April 2020) and The Diary of Francis Pepin (Camden People’s Theatre – May 2020). Both shows have been postponed due to Covid-19.
