What I Do

Four service categories

Writing

Original Plays - Screenplays - Script - Development - Adaptations - Stories inspired by culture, community and human connection.

Producing

From concept to opening night, I bring creative projects to life through collaboration, strategic partnerships and thoughtful production management. I enjoy connecting artists, venues, sponsors and communities to create meaningful cultural experiences.

Directing

Every script deserves a distinctive voice. I work closely with actors and creative teams to create performances that feel authentic, emotionally engaging and visually compelling. Whether on stage or screen, my directing style encourages collaboration while keeping the story at the centre of every creative decision.

Cultural Storytelling

This is the heart of my work. I create stories that explore the intersection of culture, identity and belonging through characters who feel genuine, relatable and human. My projects often celebrate the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures, inviting audiences of all backgrounds to laugh, reflect and discover shared experiences.

My Expertise

I welcome opportunities to collaborate with organisations, theatres, producers, festivals and businesses that believe in the power of storytelling.

What Visitors say

Testimonials

Shoba builds a rehearsal room where actors are braver than they knew they could be. It shows in every performance.

Rare directorial control. She knows exactly which silence to hold and for how long.

As a production partner, she is meticulous — creatively fearless and completely dependable on schedule.

I have not stopped thinking about the final scene. Weeks later.
