Writer · Actor · Producer · Voice Artist
ScrollI've watched a rewritten story free a child from her fears. I've seen a script crack a room wide open. And I've experienced what happens when storytelling is honest enough to change the people sitting in front of it.
For over two decades I've worked as a writer, actor, and producer across film, television, and theatre, holding a Master's degree in Screenwriting from Falmouth University and a Licentiate in Performing Arts from Trinity College London. My work has taken me from stages in Hong Kong to South African stage and screens.
I've written plays, developed original screen projects, and continue to create new work for both stage and screen, including an original musical in collaboration with composer and lyricist Nathan Ro, while producing new theatrical work in South Africa.
What drives me most is the process of taking an idea, something half-formed and deeply personal, and shaping it into a story that audiences can see, hear, and feel for themselves.
If you need a writer, a collaborator, a mentor, or a voice, that's where I come in.
Stories are complicated things. Sometimes they arrive fully formed. Sometimes they're just a scene, a voice, or a feeling you can't shake. My job is helping shape those ideas into work that connects with people.
Whether you need a writer, collaborator, mentor, performer, or voice artist, this is where I come in.
You have the idea. Maybe it's a play, a film, a television series, or a musical. Maybe it exists as voice notes, scattered scenes, or something you've been carrying around for years.
I work with writers, producers, creatives, and companies to develop emotionally grounded, production-ready scripts for stage and screen. From concept development and structure to dialogue and rewrites, I help shape stories that feel alive, honest, and audience-ready.
Drama, comedy, thriller, horror, musical theatre, family entertainment, I love finding the heartbeat of a story and building from there.
Let's Build Your Story →Sometimes the problem isn't talent. It's clarity.
You know there's something good in the script, but it's not landing yet. That's where I can help.
I mentor writers through story development, structure, character work, dialogue, and creative confidence. My approach is practical, collaborative, and honest. No intimidating industry jargon. No ego. Just thoughtful guidance from someone who understands both the creative process and how difficult writing can sometimes feel.
Whether you're starting from scratch or deep in rewrites, I help you uncover what the story is really trying to say.
Work With Me →Acting was my first love, and it continues to shape the way I write, direct, and tell stories.
My work spans theatre, television, film, and live performance across South Africa and Hong Kong, with appearances in Scandal!, Generations: The Legacy, Binnelanders, and Lioness.
As a performer, I'm drawn to work that feels truthful, emotionally intelligent, and deeply human. I bring strong script instincts, collaborative energy, and a genuine love for the craft into every rehearsal room and production.
View Acting Portfolio →A good voice-over is never just about the voice. It's about connection, rhythm, emotion, and knowing how to tell the story behind the words.
I provide voice work for commercials, narration, animation, audiobooks, corporate content, eLearning, and character-driven projects, with a performance background that allows me to adapt naturally to tone, audience, and style.
Warm, grounded, theatrical, conversational, comedic, dramatic, whatever the project needs, the story always comes first.
Listen to My Work →Tammany Barton presents her new coming-of-old-age comedy-drama, directed by Juliette Jenner and starring Shaeleen Tobin, award-winning actress, and Camilla Waldman, award-winning stage and screen personality.
When Maureen's birthday plans go disastrously wrong, she and her older sister Vera find themselves trapped together in a bathtub in their retirement village. As a birthday cake burns in the oven, the tub magically transports them through memories of their past, present and imagined futures, where they discover how much they need each other and how little time they have left.
Filled with humour, heart and adventure, Ladies of Lavare is a celebration of sisterhood, resilience and the magic that can still be found in life's later chapters.
Yes, Ladies of Lavare is a play about ageing. But more than that, it is a play about coming of age, again and again, for as long as we are fortunate enough to keep living.
Ladies of Lavare arrives on the Johannesburg stage with impressive international pedigree. The play is a winner of the Fugitive Sisters Cannes Festival Award (2024) and the Playwright Laboratory London Script Development Programme (2023), and a finalist for the South African Muse Awards (2025). Audiences who have experienced earlier readings and workshops have called it "enthralling and full of heart," "an emotional rollercoaster," and simply "a smashing piece."
