Xana Marwick

About

I am an award-winning writer, dramaturg, theatre director, creative producer and participation specialist based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

After leaving school aged fifteen, I later went on to study at the Royal Conservatoire for Scotland, I have been nominated for (and sometimes won) numerous awards and residencies, including the highly competitive BBC Writersroom, Dramaroom scheme, and my work has been seen throughout the UK and internationally.

I have written across a variety of television and theatre productions, including all five series of BAFTA-nominated Molly and Mack for CBeebies, and I have written pilot episodes, bibles and script polishes across drama, animation and kids.

I have a particular interest in finding the magic and humour in stories about people who have been let-down, left-behind or left-out, often inspired by the people I have met through my work with socially excluded communities, and by my own life. My work spans everything from joyful pre-school comedy to dark and gritty drama, often exploring themes around the treatment of women and girls, mental illness, poverty, chronic illness and neurodiversity, all subjects with which I have first-hand, lived experience.

I work across commercial and publicly funded projects. Get in touch.
