Penelope's play, THE VILLAGE BIKE, played a sell-out run at the Royal Court in the summer of 2011 where it received rave reviews and was twice extended.  The play won the 2011 George Devine Award, the Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright at the 2011 Evening Standard Theatre Awards and has been nominated at the 2012 Olivier Awards for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre.  It will also have a rehearsed reading at the Manhattan Theatre Club as part of their 7@7 series of readings and receive its regional premiere at the Sheffield Crucible Studio in the early autumn of 2012.

Penelope is currently developing an original 60' pilot, LICHEN COVE, for Working Title TV.

She also wrote an episode of FRESH MEAT, the new Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong series for Objective Productions / Channel 4 and is currently working on the second series.

In 2010, Penelope was invited to take part in the Royal Court Theatre's Young Writers' Supergroup and she was also selected to be one of six writers on the 2009 Future Perfect scheme at Paines Plough.

EIGENGRAU played at the Bush Theatre in the Spring of 2010 to critical acclaim and was longlisted for the ES’s Most Promising Playwright Award.

Penelope's first play, FUCKED, opened at the Old Red Lion in 2008, was a sell-out smash hit and Critics' Choice in TIME OUT.  The play made a triumphant return to the 2009 Edinburgh Festival.
