Gavin Kostick is a playwright and dramaturge living in Dublin. He is Literary Officer for Fishamble: The New Play Company and founder of the Show In A Bag series of small Irish plays.[1]
As a playwright, perhaps his most notable work was the 1992 production The Ash Fire. Centred on a crisis within a Jewish Dublin family of the 1930s, the play, which was performed in Dublin, London, Glasgow and New York, has been widely cited as an important example of intercultural Irish theatre.[2][3][4][5][6][7] In 2018, The Ash Fire was programmed by the Lir Academy for a 25th anniversary production.[8]
As an actor, Gavin Kostick performed Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness: Complete, a six hour show, for Absolut Fringe (winning the Spirit of the Fringe award), Dublin Theatre Festival and The London Festival of Literature at the Southbank.[9] He also teaches on the Master in Fine Art - Playwriting degree at The Lir Academy.[10]
