A Playwrights Guide

Hi! Are you a playwright?

Send me your work! Let’s have coffee.

What kind of stories do I tell as director?

• Punk stories. Queer stories. Migrant stories.

• Stories about class, masculinity and mental health.

• Stories which deal with isolation, loneliness and longing.

• Stories which blur the line between fiction and non-fiction.

• Irish stories.

My taste in plays?

I am interested in new plays which are:

• Transformative, character driven-dramas. 

• Is it innately theatrical? Does it have to happen onstage?

• Formally subversive - which seduce an audience and then sucker punch ‘em with something they weren’t expecting!

Who are some of my favorite playwrights?

• Caryl Churchill

• Maria Irene Fornés

• Marina Carr

What does my work look like?
