Sylvia Cullen grew up on a farm in West Waterford. A graduate of Trinity College, she is an award-winning playwright whose work includes OWL for Corcadorca, Crows Calling for the Firkin Crane Theatre in Cork and The Thaw, which is published by New Island. NTC Theatre Co. in Northumberland commissioned her to write two plays, The Legend of Lola Montez, and the comic melodrama Bedazzled. Set on Croghan Mountain during Wicklow’s gold rush in 1795, it received three UK and Irish tours. Grangegorman Histories has just awarded her a bursary for a new trilogy of short stories, Flighty Creatures, which will be available online along with her other podcast series. With a Literature Bursary from The Arts Council, Sylvia is currently writing her début novel with mentoring from Paul Lynch and Anne Griffin.
