Dylan Coburn Gray graduated from Trinity with a Music degree in 2014, and is already one of Ireland’s most prolific young playwrights. His play Boys & Girls was performed during the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2013, where it was nominated for several prizes and won the Fishamble Best New Writing Award, before touring to Moscow and New York. In New York it ran in the 59E59 Theatre as part of the First Irish Festival, and won awards for Best Ensemble and Best Play.

Subsequent work included Drawing Crosses On A Dusty Windowpane, performed at the Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival 2015 and the Galway Arts Festival 2016, and Citysong which premiered at Lingo Festival 2015. He has also toured internationally as a performer with Brokentalkers’ The Blue Boy. His most recent works include Blackcatfish Musketeer and Briseis After The Black, both of which premiered at the Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival 2016.

Dylan is a recipient of the 16×16 Next Generation Bursary Award from the Arts Council and has recently worked as dramaturg with Collapsing Horse. He is a contributor to the ongoing exhibition The Wild at the Project Arts Centre. His original work is characterised by an inventive and engaging approach to language and theatrical form. One to watch in 2017!
