In 2016 Stephanie adapted Mohsin Hamid's award winning novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist for stage. Directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, it played to sold out houses from 23-27 August at The Finborough as part of the NYT new writing session.
"A compelling memory play... Street's adaptation is particularly stealthy and pins down America's callow post-9/11 xenophobia with elegance"
- A Younger Theatre
"A spellbinding piece of theatre... faithful to the original novel, with theatrical masterstrokes" - Sardines
"Fine skeins of literary and movie references threaded through the script bring a historical depth and a resonance to The Reluctant Fundamentalist"
- Traffic Light Theatregoer
In 2015 Stephanie's adaptation of Wuthering Heights played at the Ambassadors Theatre, directed by Emily Lim. As part of the NYT REP 2015, it was described by critics as "an impressive attempt to capture Wuthering Heights for a modern audience" (Plays to See) and " free and frank, pared down and intense" (The Stage).
Stephanie is also working on a play about young people in London and the 2011 riots entitled Little Fish. It was developed in collaboration with the START programme at the Lyric Hammersmith and is currently in discussions for production. This is alongside another new play about epilepsy and the NHS, The Downs, which was presented at the HighTide Festival under the working title, Seizing Cinderella, in May 2012. Both these projects were supported by a writer's grant from ACE.
Her play, Sisters, was the first production in the newly renovated Studio when the Sheffield Crucible re-opened in March 2010. It was directed by Ruth Carney.
