Autorenporträt

Philip McMahon is a playwright and theatre director based in Dublin. His most recent play COME ON HOME, directed by Olivier Award Winner Rachel O'Riordan, played a sold out season at the Abbey Theatre Dublin in 2018. The Times (UK) said: "McMahon's dark-humoured, powerful play says more about Ireland than reams of opinion columns." COME ON HOME was nominated for Best New Play for the 2019 Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards. Phillip's play, TOWN IS DEAD, also for the Abbey Theatre, was nominated for five Irish Theatre Awards in 2017. Over ten years, he has produced a number of plays, performances, a book and a film with drag superstar and activist Panti Bliss. Phillip was director, deviser and dramaturg on Panti's live shows IN THESE SHOES?, ALL DOLLED UP, A WOMAN IN PROGRESS, ROOTING FOR AUSTRALIA and HIGH HEELS IN LOW PLACES. Phillip is one half of pop culture outfit and theatre renegades THISISPOPBABY, based in Dublin. Phillip is an Artistic Associate at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.
