Noone believes in stories that resonate beyond the theatre’s door and that add ideas to the national conversation. He believes in the playwright as thinker traveling in the direction of their fear. His play The Smuggler just ended a sold out run in March at the Irish Rep in NYC. It won the Best Playwright award at the 1st Irish Festival of New York in 2019. The Second Girl was the inaugural winner of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) Excellence in Playwriting Award (2015) and an Edgerton Award winner in 2014.
