D.B.A. Rep graduated from the MA Playwriting program at the University of Manchester in 2021, where he took classes with Chloë Moss, Tim Price and Anders Lustgarten. He attended further workshops by Simon Stephens, Tom Wright and Tee O’Neill.
His first full-length play „Shoulders of Giants” about fraud and mental health in academia was long-listed by London Playwrights, who called it ‘a brilliant script’, while several short plays received staged readings by London’s Page2Stage and Amsterdam’s Downstage Left. Further plays focus on the life and works of George Orwell, and on the theme of survivor’s guilt.
In addition to writing himself, D.B.A. Rep supports creative teams and (grant) writers as a (script) editor.
