Colin
Teevan
Playwright, Translator and Television Writer
Colin Teevan is a celebrated playwright, translator and writer for screen. He created, wrote and was co-executive producer of Rebellion, seasons 1 and 2, for RTE, Sundance TV and Netflix. Most recently Colin has been working on the critically acclaimed German series Das Boot (described by The Guardian as 'a claustrophobic, clever and utterly thrilling reboot') - Colin was lead writer and an executive producer on season 2 (2020), co-lead writer and executive producer on season 3 (2022).
Charlie, Colin's three original films about Charles Haughey, were also broadcasted on RTE, starring Aidan Gillen, who won an IFTA for Best Performance, and Tom Vaughan Lawlor. His other work for television include Silk (BBC) starring Maxine Peake, Vera starring Brenda Blethyn and Single Handed (ITV). Colin currently has several new projects in development including a Shanghai based drama being produced by Warp.
Colin's theatre pieces have been produced by many leading British theatres including the National, the Young Vic, the Soho Theatre and the National Theatre of Scotland. These include his radical adaptation of Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus which ran on the West End starring Kit Harrington in 2016 after productions at West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow and was lauded as ‘a thing of beauty to watch’ by The Independent.
His adaptation of Kapuscinski’s The Emperor starring Olivier Award winner, Kathryn Hunter and directed by German director Walter Meierjohann completed sell out runs at Young Vic, London, Home Manchester and Grand Theatre de la Ville, Luxembourg and won Best New Play at the Manchester Theatre Awards 2017. His play about Irish immigrants in London, The Kingdom, ran at the Soho Theatre in 2012 and was hailed as ‘a fiercely intense and haunting production’ by The Independent. The Bee, co-created with legendary Japanese director Hideki Noda, and starring Noda and Hunter had two runs at the Soho Theatre, a tour in New York, an extensive tour in Japan and played again in Paris and the Theatre National de Chaillot in spring 2014. His new version of Peer Gynt, for the National Theatre of Scotland, played Dundee Rep, toured Scotland and was later revived at the Barbican.
In 2009, Colin adapted Franz Kafka's Report to An Academy for the Young Vic, where it appeared as the critically acclaimed play, Kafka's Monkey also starring Hunter and directed Meierjohann. It went on to enjoy a second run at the Young Vic and a hit world tour, including the Bouffes du Nord in Paris and the Baryshnikov Arts Centre in New York. Colin’s play There Was A Man, There Was No Man was produced by the Tricycle as part of their season on the atomic bomb, following on from his collaboration with the theatre on The Lion of Kabul which formed part of their Great Game festival on Afghanistan which toured the US giving a command performance for the Pentagon.
Colin's other work includes the award winning stage and radio play How Many Miles to Basra?, Missing Persons; Four Tragedies and Roy Keane (Trafalgar Studios) and translations of The Bacchai, Iphigenia in Aulis, from Greek, Cuckoos, Marathon, from Italian, and adaptations of Svejk, Don Quixote, and Monkey! (The Journey to the West).
Colin’s plays are published by Oberon Books.
