Gray Martyn is a screenwriter whose work explores matters such as identity, performance, and power through psychologically rich narratives that interrogate the line between reality and perception. His stories follow characters navigating shifting roles and fractured selves amid transformation and loss.

Martyn’s creative foundation has been shaped by his involvement with modernist theatre, notably a college production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht in which he starred and for which he composed original music. This background contributes to a cinematic voice that blends heightened theatricality with grounded emotional realism.

His latest script, Aristophanes’ Playhouse, is a surrealist neo-noir about self-discovery and authorship. He is currently seeking guidance and community for that project while developing new work, including In Search of Orpheus — a time-bending exploration of myth, madness, and music — Mr. Freezee — a thrilling interrogation of love, loss, and the absurdity of life and death — Marduk — a supernatural romp regarding authenticity, spirituality, and redemption — and The Ninth Circle — a dramatic look at the power cults wield and how one may subvert them.
