From Omagh, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland, I graduated in 2012 with an MA in Screenwriting from The London College of Communication.

​

My first piece for theatre, a short play entitled Skiver, was staged at the Brockley Jack Theatre and a full-length play Cailleach Óg had its premiere at The Pleasance Theatre in March 2017 in a one-off industry showcase event.

​

Continuity had its premiere at The Finborough with a very successful short run during July/August 2017.

 

It received fantastic reviews including a review in The New York Times and an Offie Nomination for Best Male.

The New York Times.

 

 “An Irish tour de force. Unmissable theatre….”

Jeff Prestridge, Prestridge2

 

“Gerry Moynihan’s brilliant new play… A stunning debut from a brand new playwright.” Paddy Briggs, London Theatre1

 

“Gerry Moynihan’s raw and passionate monologue.”

Mersa Auda, The Upcoming

 

“ONE superb actor, two chairs and a script with immeasurable depth.”

Mayer Wakefield, Morning Star

 

“It is powerful powder keg material from the pen of Moynihan.”

Jeff Prestridge, Prestridge2

 

“Moynihan’s monologue – which had its first reading at the Finborough Theatre’s Vibrant festival last year – is leavened with laconic humour and naturally flowing Irish idiom.”

Dave Fargnoli, The Stage

 

“75 minutes of superb acting and writing.”

Rob Warren, Everything Theatre

 

“Compelling and intense, this modern play evokes the great classical tragedies and manages to engage with more force than many productions with a higher profile.”

Mersa Auda, The Upcoming

 

“As commanding and riveting a performance as you will see all summer on the stage, West End or fringe.”

Jeff Prestridge, Prestridge2

 

“A gripping experience under the direction of Shane Dempsey.”
