Sonya Kelly is an Irish playwright and screenwriter.[1]
Kelly was born in Dublin. Some of her family had a theatre background: her uncle Frank Kelly was a well-known actor, and an aunt who taught speech and drama sent her plays by George Bernard Shaw as a teenager.[2] She studied drama and classics at Trinity College Dublin.[3]
After graduation she got a few acting roles in Dublin's Gate Theatre before spending some time as a stand-up comedian. She then progressed to what she has described as "a medium somewhere between theatre and comedy", doing self-performing autobiographical pieces. "The Wheelchair on my Face" was the first of these followed by "How to Keep an Alien". Her first play for other actors was "Furniture".[4]
Productions of Kelly's plays "The Wheelchair on My Face" and "The Last Return" have won Scotsman Fringe First awards.[5]
She lives in Dublin with her Australian wife Kate. They met while they were both working on a play at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin.[2] Their daughter Juno was born in 2021.[6]
Kelly was a 2024 recipient of the Windham Campbell Prize for Drama.[7]
