Martin O'Brien | Writer | Producer

Martin has a unique reputation for writing accessible and popular drama which gets to the heart of matters of faith and morality in an entertaining and engaging form.

Current projects include his adaptation of Karol Wojtyla's (Pope John Paul II) THE JEWELLER'S SHOP. This had a showcase performance at the Leicester Square Theatre in June 2011 and plans are shaping up for a full production in 2012/13.

Martin also runs a Theatre-in-Education company Ten Ten Productions (www.tententheatre.co.uk) who tour widely, bringing drama on social and moral issues to schools and other educational institutions, young offender institutions and prisons. Ten Ten's SAFER STREETS drama project is a resource for schools, youth communities and young offender institutions which aims to raise self-esteem and aspiration. Most recently seen at young offender institututions (winter/spring 2010-2011), SAFER STREETS gives young people the tools to manage their lives effectively and reduce self-destructive and anti-social behaviour. It is inspirational and has application in the wider community too, giving older adults the tools of understanding and insight which can only improve communication.

Ten Ten Theatre reached the last 10 in the Bible Society's Enter the Pitch Award for their short film project ON EAGLE'S WINGS (spring 2011).

Martin has also been on the writing team for the BBC's DOCTORS where his work is always distinctive.
