Past Projects
Whenever I Get Blown Up I Think Of You premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010. It went on to become an afternoon play on BBC Radio 4. To book, contact producer Sarah Ellis at scarahnellis@gmail.com. Corresponding solo-performance workshop also available.
How does it feel to have your world blown apart? Britain is booming and Molly moves to London from deepest Cornwall full of naive dreams, high hopes and on a quest to make her life just like the movies. Then on 7/7/2005, she finds herself on a tube blown up by terrorists and her life is forced to take a different direction. Funny, frank and poetic; this is the true story of what happened next and how we put things back together after they’ve been blown apart.
Directed by Yael Shavit. Produced by Sarah Ellis and Apples & Snakes.

‘Lyrical, beautiful and lighthearted’ Fringe Review
‘Naylor’s first solo show is linguistically rich, and sensitively balanced between light and dark, humdrum and lyrical.’ The List
