Lillian Leigh Constance writes about women who battle for bodily autonomy in various theaters: Congress, the church, the sex dungeon, the home.

Constance’s debut short film, The Visitation, was a finalist for a Female Film Club grant at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. It retells the Biblical visit of the pregnant Mary to her pregnant cousin Elizabeth.

For television, Constance has four pilots in development. Ministries follows a hospital chaplain in London who moonlights as a dominatrix. The pilot for La Gringa, a bilingual four-season period drama about Evangelical missionaries in Buenos Aires, was developed under the mentorship of Paul Ashton (Head of Film & TV at Creative UK). College Moms is a dramedy set in 2035 about a radical solution to plummeting birth rates. And in collaboration with journalist Hannah Cho, Constance has written Corporate Moms, a dystopian workplace drama set in Seoul. 

Constance was co-author of the play Call Me Suicidal, which debuted at Riverside Studios in London and ran at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her short play Vaishnavi’s First Christmas was commissioned by Kris.P Productions. 

At the University of Oxford, Constance studied playwriting under the tutelage of Angie Johnson. She has a Masters Degree in Script Writing from University of the Arts London. 

At Rosemary’s House Writing Residency, Constance has been mentored by Kaveh Akbar (Martyr!), Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (Friday Black), and Ryan Calais Cameron (For Black Boys…).

In articles for publications including WebMD, ADDitude Magazine, Psycom and Commonweal Magazine, Constance has addressed topics ranging from the prevalence of abusive relationships among women with autism to challenges faced by mothers raising non neurotypical children.
