Robert Furey

Robert is an Irish-Jamaican writer and director of theatre and film. Whether creating bold original work or reinterpreting classics, he makes theatre that imaginatively tackles contemporary issues of gender and race from an intersectional perspective informed by his cultural background.

He has performed new work in London, Los Angeles and Athens and holds a Master’s degree in directing from LAMDA. Most recently, he staged a performance of debbie tucker green’s dirty butterfly at the Orange Tree Theatre and is currently a participating writer on Smock Alley’s Baptiste Programme for Black-Irish playwrights. He draws stylistic influence from across different mediums, with a special affinity for pulp cinema and comic books and is interested in the translation of style across different art forms.
