Theatre
Portrait by Ben Wulf Photography.
Andrew's first professional theatre job was with Red Kettle theatre in 1999 in a new one act play called 'The Pilferers' by Pat Daley and directed by Irish playwright and director Jim Nolan.
Since then Andrew has continued to herald new writing by performing in the world premieres of six new plays from the Abbey Theatre, to Out Of Joint Theatre and The Project Theatre, Dublin.
He has toured the length and breath of Ireland, the UK and America completing national tours of each and performing as far afield as the Greek International Theatre Festival in Delphi.

His work includes classic plays by writers such as Anton Checkov, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and J.B. Priestly to the contemporary classics of Frank Mc Guinness, Martin McDonagh, Brian Friel and Neil LaBute and on to the forefront of new writing from the likes of Phillip McMahon, the BAFTA winning writer Rebecca Lenkievicz, Royal Court writer Leo Butler and Aosdána member Jim Nolan.
It has been his privilege to work and learn from a long list of some of theatres finest directors including the founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company Sir Peter Hall, multiple Tony Award nominee David Leveaux, Royal Court associate director Ramin Grey, TMA and Critic's Choice Circle award winner Blanche McIntyre, Irish Times Best Director winner Selina Cartmel and Tony Award winner Garry Hynes.
