AboutTasha Porritt, Author at The Creative Issue
Tasha Porritt
I am a Scottish writer living in Australia and I'm obsessed with all things performance. I have been acting since I could stand up, as many semi horrifying family films would show you, and I've always had a penchant for pageantry. Though you couldn't get me away from an extravagantly camp musical number for love nor money I'm also an aficionado of realism, comedy, horror, vulgarity, surrealism, basically anything you'd care to name or put on a stage. I also like to pootle around in the worlds of literature, music, art and pretty much any craft that can be completed with the use of wool.Weathering Well: It’s Raining Jen!
