Tommy Murphy is an award-winning playwright with recent productions in New York, San Francisco, Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney.

He is a graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Art (Director's Course) and a former writer in residence at Griffin Theatre Company.

In 2007, his play Holding The Man won the NSW Premier's Award for Best Play after its sell-out season at Sydney Opera House.

Tommy is the only playwright to win in successive years; he was the youngest recipient of the award with Strangers in Between.

Both plays are published by Currency Press and will soon embark on national tours. His other works include Troy’s House, Precipice and an adaptation of Marlowe’s Massacre at Paris.

His play Saturn’s Return will premiere in the Sydney Theatre Company Wharf 2 Season in August 2008.
