Our Team

Debris Stevenson is a playwright, Grime-poet, multi-disciplinary artist, neurodivergent academic and professional raver whose work explores the intersectional, unexpected, and unjust.

Debris has worked in over 30 countries, raised over £300K with her company The Mouthy Poets, designed academic poetry modules, and her grime-musical POET IN DA CORNER (Royal Court) toured nationally in 2020. Debris had her screen acting debut in MEDUSA DELUXE (BFI, BBC) at Locarno Film Festival in 2022. 

Debris recently co-adapted CYRANO DE BERGERAC for the Royal Shakespeare Company alongside Simon Evans, starring Adrian Lester which received 5* reviews in The Times, The Stage and WhatsOnStage. 

Debris is currently writing, MY BROTHER’S A GENIUS, a new grime-musical about neurodivergent twins learning how to fly, which will tour to UK schools and theatres in Spring 2026, in a major new co-production with Theatre Centre, Sheffield Theatres and National Youth Theatre. 

Debris is also completing a fully funded practice-based PhD studentship in grime lyricism as narrative form at Oxford Brookes University and when she isn’t writing or studying she can be found dancing at carnivals, parties and prides around the world for the likes of Red Bull Music Academy, The Heatwave and sometimes, just for fun.
