His wife left him by text. His dating profile was written by a pizza delivery driver. His date is late.

Previous Work · Written by Matthew McMahon
The Flowers of May follows David and Lisa, a couple whose expectations of parenthood shift when their son is diagnosed with autism. Written by Matthew and performed with Eileen Gomez, the play draws on the real experiences of both performers as parents of autistic children. Directed by Emma Saunders, it premiered at The Garage Theatre, Monaghan, and concluded a successful national tour in March 2026.
Honest, unsentimental and often darkly funny — about the things parents think but rarely say out loud.
Matthew began his stage career in 2012 in John B. Keane's Many Young Men of Twenty, and continues to write and develop new work for the stage.
