Rhiannon was awarded the inaugural BBC NTW Wales Writer in Residence 2019. Her winning script, SAFE FROM HARM, was commissioned for broadcast on BBC Radio 4. In the same year Rhiannon was also chosen to be part of the BBC Welsh Voices scheme.

Her theatre work includes KILL ME NOW for Dirty Protest, which had a successful digital run at the 2021 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and her one-woman show ANFAMOL (UNMOTHERLY) with Theatr Genedlaethol, which was the first Welsh-language production to be staged following the re-opening of theatres in 2021. The play received heralded plaudits, including a beautiful four-star Guardian Review.   ANFAMOL was commissioned by S4C to be a five-part TV drama produced by BBC STUDIOS in 2022. It aired in September and has so far been a huge success. ANFAMOL series two is now officially in development. 

Rhiannon was also commissioned to write an adaptation of Caradog Pritchard’s classic Welsh novel ONE MOONLIT NIGHT (UN NOS OLA LEUAD) broadcast in English on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Wales and on BBC Radio Cymru in Welsh. Welsh language screenwriting credits include S4C’s GWAITH CARTREF, POBOL Y CWM and STAD.

Rhiannon was recently announced as one of the participants on the 2022-2023 BBC Drama Room, where she is developing MS I LOVE YOU, a semi-autobiographical comedy drama based on her own experience of begrudgingly forgiving her dad for past behaviours when he was diagnosed with the debilitating illness MS.
