Greg’s produced work as a writer to date include seven plays, a co-written musical, and two adaptions of operas into pocket-size versions for small casts.

His most celebrated play is A Voice I Cannot Silence which he co-wrote with Ralph Lawson. The play was commissioned by the Arts Trust of South Africa and is based on the life and work of poet, novelist and anti-apartheid activist, Alan Paton. Its premiere production enjoyed a national tour around South Africa and won Best New Play of 2015.

During the pandemic he wrote two new plays under commission. One is a comedy, the other centers on the troubled histories of Northern Ireland and South Africa. He also co-wrote a play about grief and loss with Steven Boykey Sidley, called The Swing. As one of the “First Four” of How Now Brown Cow’s Writers’ Collective, he developed a two-hander with dramaturgical support from two-time Oscar-nominated writer, William Nicholson (Shadowlands, Gladiator).

In June 2022 he premiered a new verbatim-based play called In Our Skin with the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) in Birmingham. His most recently staged work is a new version of Eugène Ionesco’s play, The Lesson which he adapted and directed under commission from The Market Theatre in Johannesburg. That work highlights the complexity of a colonial education system in a contemporary African setting.
