writer - actor - director

A brand new work, SNUG, enjoyed a sold-out run in two of Cork's most characterful live spaces at the start of October.

​

Two new works of mine premiered as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival - WHALE at the Cork Opera House and  HUMANS: a robot musical  at Graffiti in a co-production with the Everyman. These projects were supported by Arts Council Theatre Project Award, a YPCE Bursary, the RTE  Toy Show Fund, Cork Opera House, Cork Midsummer Festival and UCC.

My play The BelleVue was selected for the Pavilion Play Platform in Spring 2021 and won a Project Creation award 2022 from the Arts Council to develop the play towards production in 2023.

​

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

​

In 2021 I 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 was selected for the Origin NYC Festival 2022. More on this here.

​

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 WHALE (Cork Opera House, Midsummer Festival 2022) and In One Eye, Out the Other by Tadhg Hickey (Cccahoots, Dublin Fringe Festival and First Fortnight Festival 2021).
