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. 

The first play Sean ever wrote was a commission for the Kormilda College International Baccalaureate drama class (now Haileybury Rendall School), called The Green Affair, and was performed to a wide audience at Caf Parap. He went on to complete two additional commissions for Kormilda. Years later he would write his first ensemble play Last Call, which has since been performed by community theatres around the country. 

In early 2022 he completed a new play called King Paddy, a project made possible by the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia. This was given a formal play reading with Scott Gooding and Vicious Fish Theatre, and will be performed at Darwin Pride mid-2024. His body of work also includes a short comedy called Therapy-go-Round, a psychological drama called The Leaving is in the Forgetting, a coming-of-age piece called A Very Modern Pregnancy... and many more projects that will be performance-ready soon! 

In 2022, he wrote a 6-person murder-mystery comedy called Under the Table, which was produced by Big Dog Salad, sold out Darwin Fringe Festival, and won the 2022 NT Literary Awards, theatre category! Like Last Call it has since been licensed out to theatre companies all over Australia. In 2024, the sequel Death of the Human Resource will debut in July!
