After graduating with a first class honours degree from The Guildford School of Acting in 2017, Lewis has worked continuously as both an actor and writer.

This year Lewis’ new play ‘Cows Milk’ was given at place at Omnibus Theatres Engine Room where is received its first public reading. He’s writing music and lyrics for new young adult show ‘You’re Not The Boss of Me’ for Nosy Crow/ Salisbury Playhouse. His musical ‘KIDNEY4U’ is currently in development with support from Birmingham Hippodrome.

Last year Lewis was awarded the New Musical Theatre Award, giving him a commission to write a brand new musical for British Youth Music Theatre. Harry & Greta’ received its debut production at the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich this summer.

His debut play ‘Daddy Issues’ received its debut in 2022 at Seven Dials Playhouse to critical acclaim. Before this his one-man show ‘The Curious Case of Lewis Cornay’ was premiered at The Other Palace. His musical, Snowflake’, was workshopped at the Lowry Theatre as part of the ReWrites Festival. It was nominated for an Offie Award for Innovation and a song from the show was selected as a finalist for the Stiles and Drewe Best Song New Prize.

Lewis is also alumni of the prestigious Soho Writers Lab and has hosted various concerts of his own work at venues such as The Union Theatre and Crazy Coqs.

As a proud queer writer, Lewis’ key aim is to dissect the truth and unravel the stories we tell ourselves, with a smattering of dark comedy.
