Tim Marks
Playwright

excerpts

"Couldn't be more direct or less obscure... with virtually every speech and scene ringing painfully, bitterly true."

—Joseph Hurley (Irish Echo)

"I was never to initiate a conversation, I was never to talk about my religion, I was never to look up when they entered a room, I was to make neither demands or requests. I was to know that my future lay in the hands of Allah and I was to be grateful for that."

—from The Cleric
