Biography

As a multi award winning Director and Playwright, Greg has been working in theatre for over thirty years establishing a National and International reputation in his work for new audiences of all ages.

Earlier this year (2025) he received the Charlotte B Chorpenning award for his ‘Outstanding Body of Work for Young People’, in the USA. His plays take the realities of life and the harshness of our classic stories and render an epic work that speaks directly to, not at, young people, producing works of transformation and grand adventure. Greg’s scripts have a fluid muscularity and a rhythm that is echoed in the strongly physical nature of his direction. Music is an essential component and a close collaboration with composers and on stage musicians creates a live and original score, ensuring that the music is fully integrated into the work, driving the story forwards, evoking place and emotion in a very specific way. 

Greg has written over thirty original scripts many of which are currently being produced at Theatres and other venues throughout The States and Canada.
