Georgina is a working class writer and actor from East Lancashire, now based in London.
She graduated from LAMDA’s BA Acting programme in 2018 where she was a recipient of the Elizabeth May Florence Mills Scholarship.
She is excited by plays that champion working class and regional voices, and that undercut darkness with humour. She writes stories about ordinary folk who find themselves in ‘ordinary exceptional circumstances’, and that explore the messy contradictions that make up characters.
As a playwright, her work has been both shortlisted and longlisted for various playwriting competitions including The Women’s Prize for Playwriting, BOLD Theatre, Theatre Royal Haymarket, Papatango, Theatre503 International Prize and Druid Theatre. Her plays have also been highly commended by The National Theatre’s, Bush Theatre’s and The Royal Court Theatre’s reading teams and she has been a member of The Soho Theatre’s Writers’ Lab and Theatre503’s Wandsworth Writes groups. In 2024 she was commissioned to write a new play, Penalty for Improper Use, for LAMDA’s MishMash Festival. The play was subsequently selected to have a rehearsed reading at Theatre503.
Georgina debuted and performed her one woman show ASBO BOZO at Riverside Studios with her theatre company Crafted by Fools earlier this year. The show was described as “Brilliantly witty, emotionally impactful and chillingly thought-provoking… simply stunning.” (Reviews Hub, 5 Stars) and “Unsettling, electric, and impossible to ignore” (Squirrp, 4 Stars).
Georgina is currently a finalist for The Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2025
