    Martin Moriarty is a queer theatre-maker. As artistic director of Inky Cloak, he co-created Cover Her Face (Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, February 2014) – which re-staged Jacobean tragedy The Duchess of Malfi as a show about trans vulnerability in 1950s London; We Raise Our Hands in the Sanctuary (The Albany, February 2017) – which celebrated the power of queer spaces in the face of 21st century gentrification; and Songs in the Dark (The Albany, April 2018) – which explored the pressures on older LGBTQ+ people living in sheltered accommodation and care homes. Virginia Woolf’s Dog Training Academy is his first solo show.

    Greyfriars Bobby was an ethical slut

    The dominant thinking about how humans and dogs make lives together was minted in the Victorian era, when the Edinburgh stray Greyfriars Bobby became the poster-boy for some very heteronormative ideas about deathless fidelity – despite living a kind of queer existence in a network of caring connections.

    Martin Moriarty reflects on his bid to overthrow these Victorian values through his queer liberationist fable, Virginia Woolf’s Dog Training Academy, part of the More Than Human Festival at CPT.
