"theatre has given me the opportunity to develop, in collaboration with the playwright, actor and audience, a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me"

Originally from Sligo, Martin co-founded Rawlife with Lyn Harris in 2001.  He has subsequently directed, produced and acted in a number of Rawlife's productions.  Martin also runs his own  successful internet software company located in Belfast.

Extremely keen to expose new audiences to the enjoyment of live theatre, he has recently directed shows in Baby Grand, the OMAC and the Potthouse nightclub in Belfast's emerging Cathedral Arts Quarter. 

Martin is currently working on developing a new play with Belfast screen-writer Pearse Elliot for Rawlife which will be performed in 2010.
The play is a black comedy investigating post conflict Northern Ireland by looking at how one group of brothers deal with the issue.
