I am currently developing a new TV series about murderous goings on at a run down seaside resort, a feature film about a pigeon who saves Christmas, and a short film about a will dispute. A sketch I made with my partner-in-comedy about keeping a pen up your bum recently when semi-viral in instagram, so I’m also spending some time trying to work that out. Here are some reviews (of my other work, not the pen-bum thing):
“an all-female take on “Peter Pan,” had a feminist slant while keeping the genre’s building blocks. I enjoyed its shambolic, riot grrrl attitude — very Mickey and Judy, or rather Judy and Judy… I admired their spunk. Surprise! Even feminist panto includes fart jokes.”
The New York Times, for The Fairytale Revolution, Theatre503
“…writer Anna Spearpoint has brought edgy, engaging humour to a subject that, important as it is, often feels like a slog. The dialogue is gloriously awkward and endearing, and pretty relatable: whilst Mia and Mo absolutely lose the plot, you can kind of see how someone might end up feasting on their goldfish in an attempt to do the right thing…”

"A particular mention to Anna Spearpoint, who presents a showcase of comedic characters... Her earnest and hilarious choices make for a memorable performance... She is definitely one to watch"
