Residing in Hawaii, a short-tempered, University professor lives a
double life. Though masquerading as a school teacher, her real
passion lies in the field, fighting creatures who scour the earth
in search of blood. She now embarks on a journey. She will face a
cocky vampire with a strange connection to her deceased mother, a
sister who thinks the world is out to get her, a new partner with a
sordid history, and a man from a past she can't remember. Not to
mention the scores of shapeshifters, werewolves, and vampires alike
who are bent on her complete and immediate destruction. While
facing love and loss, she will come within inches of her death.
Summer 1860, an elegant country house, a young boy is found dead in
an outside privy. All clues point towards the murderer being a
member of the grieving household. But which one? Called to the
scene is the most celebrated detective of his day, Jonathan Whicher
from Scotland Yard. Faced with an inept local police force, a
middle-class family ravaged by secrets, and a lack of evidence,
will he be able to solve the case? This original Victorian whodunit
becomes a battle of wits between the professional detective and the
only one who knows what really happened. In this fresh re-telling,
fact and fiction bleed into each other, and the Truth becomes
something to be fought over. Alexandra Wood's stage adaptation of
Kate Summerscale's vivid and gripping bestselling non-fiction
thriller, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, is premiered at the
Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in May 2023.
Three women, forty years, one ever-evolving bond. Fake sick days,
Stonehenge, roller skates, champagne and glow-in-the-dark stars.
The Tyler Sisters is a funny, heartening exploration of time, and
the unassuming moments that make up our lives. Alexandra Wood's
innovative play explores the deep and unruly waters of sisterhood.
It premiered at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, in December
2019.

Spain, 2013. Against all odds, young graduate Sofia has got a job
as PA to one of the wealthiest bankers in the country. But her
mother has her doubts - did Sofia give more than a good interview
to get it? In a subtle game of cat and mouse, split loyalties and
questionable morals, Alexandra Wood's thrilling two-hander looks at
the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship, the growing
argument between rich and poor, and a young woman stuck in between.
Merit was performed at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in 2015, and
received its London premiere at the Finborough Theatre in 2016.

A play confronting the challenges we face in a foreign land, asking
where, or to whom, we belong. Dubai seems to offer British
twenty-somethings Greg and Holly everything they could want:
tax-free income, a brand-new apartment and an exotic landscape
waiting to be explored. But surviving on the edge of a desert, in a
society they don't understand, proves more difficult than they
could have imagined. They soon start to question why it is they
came, and whether they'll ever get home. Alexandra Wood's play The
Empty Quarter was first staged at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs,
London, in September 2013.
