An actor, writer, singer and Dungeon Master, Noga classifies herself as a storyteller. She began writing plays at the age of 16 and hasn't stopped since. She moved to the UK from Israel to train in the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, which she graduated at 2017.
Noga's writing is influenced by New Wave Sci-Fi, modern horror cinema and some very dark humour she inherited from her family. Her writing contributions include projects for Harpy Productions, such as Audio Drama adaptations for creepypasta stories 'My Father Punished Me When I Talked To Ghosts' and 'SMILE: It'll Be Over Soon' as well as original Theatre Productions 'BUNKER' and 'LETHE'.

OUR MOTTO "WICKED WOMEN TELLING WEIRD TALES" is a perfect summary of what we do, as we strive to bring women to the forefront as Directors, Producers, Artists, Writers and Actors.
OUR WORK focuses on new and original works by primarily undiscovered talent - bringing to life stories that may not otherwise be told. We use narrative devised from the worlds of Science Fiction and Horror cinema to examine real social issues and shine a light on dark corners.
OUR MISSION is to support emerging creatives, particularly within the sci-fi and horror genres. This has come in the form of adapting new works of fiction into professional audio dramas, connecting writers with actors and directors to perform pieces, as well as hosting our very own festive Horror Competition 'The Fright Before Christmas'. Our In-House team has performed our own original pieces for Fringe Theatre (such as Bunker and Lethe) and in growing as a Company, we hope to provide a productive and gratifying space for everyone we work with.
Harpies are mythical creatures, depicted in ancient Greek writings as being a bird with the face of a woman. Half human, half bird, all storm. They are the raging hounds of karmic justice, spirits of wind and guardians of the underworld.
Later on (with the influence of William Shakespeare), they became a name for a "nasty" or "annoying" women...and that term stuck! As such, we chose to embrace the angry, strange and feminine creature of the Harpy as our symbol.
