Lee's an excellent playwriting teacher. His intuitive approach allows students to open up their writing and find the most exciting possibilities within their work. I've had the pleasure of running workshops with Lee and I've seen him empower students - giving them confidence and helping them find and nurture their own voice.

I had the pleasure of working with Lee as a dramaturg on my play Take Care as part of Squint Theatre’s Playwriting Awards. Lee was so generous with his time. He has such a wealth of knowledge around theatre, and his insights were so considered, always aiming to build the play into the best it could be. Couldn’t recommend more — one of the best.

His talent and skillset comes from a deep love of the craft, and his keenness to ensure you write the very best play you can is both enthusing and quite inspiring.

Lee has been incredibly helpful in my playwriting process. He's an astute, careful and considerate writer, dramaturg and consultant. I was a writer while he was literary associate at the Squint Playwriting Award and he gave me such useful, insightful and rich feedback on my work while understanding its cultural context, language and dialects. He delivers constructive criticism with honesty and clarity but is warm and discursive with feedback.

I’ve worked with Lee for over 15 years and he’s one of the most talented, generous and conscientious people I know in theatre. As a writer and dramaturg, he brings a brilliant instinct for story, structure and tone, and he always helps make a piece the best version of itself. He asks the right questions, offers smart, sensitive feedback, and does it all with kindness, patience and a huge depth of experience. He’s a joy to collaborate with and I recommend him completely.

As an expert writer and dramaturg, Lee is able to ask the right questions at the right time and knows how to bring out your very best work. I fully recommend him as a tutor and facilitator.

I worked with Lee as the dramaturg on a full-length play that underwent significant structural and tonal development over several months. His feedback was precise, insightful, and always delivered with clarity and care. Lee has a real gift for identifying what’s at stake in a story and helping writers sharpen the dramatic engine without ever compromising their voice. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
