Jessica George was born and raised in London to Ghanaian parents and studied English Literature at the University of Sheffield. After working at a literary agency and a theatre, she landed a job in the editorial department of a publishing house. She now lives in south west London with an incontrovertible sweet tooth and the knowledge that she can consume half a cake by herself if left to her own devices.

Jessica’s debut novel, MAAME, has been optioned by Thousand Voices (Jenna Bush Hager) and Universal International Studios, with Jessica to co-write the television series with Yemi Oyefuwa (EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE, DREAMING WHILST BLACK).

The Artists Partnership represents Jessica for her screenwriting.

His first play I AM NOT MYSELF THESE DAYS was an adaptation of Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s New York Times bestselling memoir. It was produced by Fuel and directed by Nick Bagnall. It received great reviews at the Edinburgh Festival and secured a tour of the UK, which included the Liverpool Everyman, MAC in Belfast and Shoreditch Town Hall in London:

“I wasn’t expecting to be so moved by this, yet the emotions it stirred up lingered for the rest of the day, never quite leaving. . . profoundly affecting, and by turns warm, bitter, optimistic, cynical and deeply, profoundly human.” **** The Stage

“A mesmerising show which will smack you in the face and demand your attention” **** Three Weeks

 

His second play AFTER EDWARD was commissioned by Shakespeare’s Globe and received a full production in their Sam Wannamaker Theatre in 2019:

“A forceful and fanciful drama by a fresh new talent” **** The Telegraph

“After Edward has absolutely everything anyone could want from a show. . . It’s brilliantly funny. It’s thought provoking. It’s wickedly intelligent. It’s relevant. It’s important. And it’s totally accessible” ***** The Upcoming

His third play BURN BABY BURN was shortlisted for the George Devine Award in 2021.

Tom has worked extensively as an actor for the past 20 years.
