Ruby (she/her) is an award-winning writer and performer working on Gadigal land. A graduate of NIDA's Master of Fine Arts (Dramatic Writing, 2025), her writing uses comedy as a Trojan horse for hard-to-talk-about subjects, producing poignant social commentary about corruption, loss, and human connection. She's been a Fresh Ink Writer (2025), National Studio Participant (2024) and her play Milk Bottle Challenge (published by Currency Press) was commissioned by ATYP for their 2025 Intersection Festival. She's been a Barrett House Artist in Residence (2025) and earlier this year was supported by Randwick Council to co-create an interactive children's theatre show, 100 Ways to Tame a Bedtime Monster (2026). Most recently, she won NIDA's Ken Healey Award for Innovation in Writing (2026).
Her debut play Cadaver Synod, a sexed-up Vatican tragedy that grapples with institutional corruption in the Catholic Church, premieres at KXT on Broadway this month, 27 May - 6 June 2026.
