BURNHAM DRAMATURGY

I am a theatre-maker, playwright, and dramaturg. When the sun is high, I am an engineer. The dialectic between these two worlds powers my thoughts and ideas which often coalesce into an exciting performative narrative in my head.

Since graduating with an MLitt in Playwriting & Dramaturgy at the University of Glasgow in 2017, I have written 3 stage plays: The Visitors (Ayr Gaiety, SAST, 2025), Dance The Colour Blue (Old Gym Theatre, ACS, 2023), They’ll Get You Now You’re Gone (Touchbase Scotland, 2018). I have also written 2 audio dramas: Being Again The Now Of Then (2025), and A Journey Around My Room (2021). In addition, I have produced a short film, HEAD (2022). Currently, I have another 2 plays in gestation: Aiaia about Circe, and Throwing Stones At The Stars on the grandiloquent ideas of a group of twenty-somethings sharing a Glasgow flat.

My work uses dramaturgy as a framework for interpretation, typically a form of intertextual dramaturgy which juxtaposes contemporary content with classical texts. The stories I tell comprise elements such as choreography, poetry, and philosophy to frame the nakedness of the play. The everyday restlessness lingers on in the doubt of the moment…all shared with the audience.

I support theatre-makers whenever possible: part of the production team, reviewing texts, even playing small parts in fellow playwrights’ productions.

My most recent audio drama Bring Again The Now Of Then is available to listen to on Apple & Spotify:
