'I had a hit show at Edinburgh Fringe at the age of 16'

Darcey has already had more success than your average teenager.

The 16-year-old from Nettlebed, Oxfordshire, wrote a play titled Blood Of My Father which went to the Edinburgh Fringe festival, and is set to go to the Drayton Arms Theatre in London for two days in January.

But Darcey is in a hurry, saying "I just want my whole life to start... but then I remember we must get through our A-levels first".

In the meantime she has now set up a production company named BOMF, after the play, which she hopes will create "more exciting new theatre and opportunities for young actors".

Blood Of My Father started off life as a school assignment, but it spiralled into a six-day run at the prestigious Scottish arts festival.

Darcey, who also starred in the play, said her and the team advertised the show for up to three hours every morning.

"I think it's a real experience that I don't think you can really prepare for until you're there," she said.

"We sold out a couple of shows... Edinburgh was the most incredible experience."

After the play's success, Darcey said setting up a production company felt like "the next step".

"I write everything myself, it's all original, and I thought 'if we're going to keep putting on exciting productions, we need a production company'," she said.

The cast are now preparing to bring the show to London for four shows over two days in January - the last of which has already sold out.

"It would be our dream to sell out our run at the Drayton Arms Theatre," she said.

And Darcey already has her sights on her next project.

"I never know when to stop - I've started writing the next play," she said.

"It's going bigger scale, more people involved, higher energy and all round a better, bigger production... I'll try and distract myself from my A-levels by writing more plays."
