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.
