writer - actor - director

I am currently putting the final touches to Humans: a robot musical with the support of the Arts Council Theatre Bursary YPCE and Graffiti Theatre Company, for production in 2022.

​

I'm also planning for the production of WHALE later in 2021 (Arts Council of Ireland Project Award, Cork Opera House & Cork Midsummer Festival, developed as part of my Theatre Artist Residency UCC-COH).

I am writing a new play, TOLL, funded by an Agility Award from the Arts Council.

My play The BelleVue was selected for the Pavilion Play Platform in Spring 2021.

I recently wrote and performed in CITY in co-production with the Everyman - the play was part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, supported by Culture Ireland and has been selected for the Origin NYC Festival in 2022. More on this here.

​

Prior to the pandemic I appeared in Blackwater Babble (Brokencrow), This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing (Graffiti Theatre), The Big Chapel X (Asylum, Kilkenny Arts Festival), Evening Train (Everyman and Rosa Productions), The Lonesome West (Everyman) --- nominated Best Supporting Actor at the Irish Theatre Awards --- Bluetooth (Everyman) and in The School (RTE, 2017).

​

I was the inaugural Theatre Artist in Residence at Cork Opera House-UCC 2018 - 2020. I'm a mentor on the Young Playwrights Programme with Fighting Words Cork, and creator of Hammergrin's In Darkness Vast. I wrote Stage Irish, which won the Writers Guild of Great Britain Playwrights Progress Award 2014 and co-wrote Hollander, nominated Best Production at the Irish Theatre Awards.

​

Recent directing includes The Herd and The Seafarer (Play it By Ear, Everyman), In One Eye, Out the Other (Cccahoots, Dublin Fringe Festival and First Fortnight Festival) and WHALE (Cork Opera House, Midsummer Festival 2019).
