Literary Agent:    n/a

Martin started out as a comedy writer for The News Revue and The Treason Show, but his plays explore darker territory. Everything Theatre describes his work as 'brimming with a strange, gritty tenderness that draws you right in'. His scripts, often set in the West Country, tackle themes of class, religion and gender identity.
