Plays

Sean first developed a love of theatre as a high school student, primarily through the plays and writings of Oscar Wilde. Wilde's sense of humour, wit, and ability to surprise the audience in just a few words has inspired Sean through his career. Since then, he has received mentorship and professional development through a wide variety of groups, including JUTE Theatre, NIDA, PAC Australia, and the Performing Lines National Producers Platform.

The earliest works Sean completed were a series of one act plays for the Kormilda College International Baccalaureate drama class - now Haileybury Rendall School. These include The Green Affair, The Cafe Lounge, and A Very Modern Pregnancy. (Of these, only The Green Affair is currently available for licensing).

As a general rule, Sean loves ensemble comedies that are as fun for actors as they are for audiences. His plays Last Call, Therapy-go-Round, Under the Table, and Death of the Human Resource have been performed numerous times around Australia, and won a handful of awards between them. 

It is an important aspect of his work that Sean always strives to be authentic, inclusive, and diverse. His play Last Call was rewritten to include a deaf actor, while his play King Paddy was a headline performance of Darwin Pride 2024, thanks to the strong queer themes, inspired by some of Sean's own experiences. 

In late 2025 and 2026, Sean developed a slate of new theatre works. These include Buckingham's Chalice, The Leaving is in the Forgetting, Alike in Dignity, Hostages, and La Familia. He has also completed The Community, which received development support from Brown's Mart Theatre, and The Commandments, proudly supported by Arts NT. Both were supported by dramaturg Albert Belz.
