Grace O’Brien is a Welsh, Working-Class, Disabled Multidisciplinary Artist originally from the Valleys in South Wales. In 2020, she received a micro-bursary from Theatr Clwyd, which was used to launch her gig-theatre company, Purple String Productions. Grace is looking to expand her producing skills to take this to the next level. Her project The Welsh Lxdies, was first developed at New Diorama Theatre (2022) before its journey to The Other Room Theatre (2022), VAULT festival (2023), and a scratch tour to rural venues in Wales supported by the Noson Allan Scheme. It has recently undergone two further Research & Development stages supported by Arts Council Wales and The Birkdale Trust ahead of a future large-scale tour. In 2025, she co-produced a project called Page to Stage: Lightning Writes at BOLD Theatre in Elephant and Castle (as featured on BBC Open Call). This was a free development scheme for x 10 emerging-mid career Working-Class, d/Deaf, Disabled and/or Neurodivergent writers, which culminated in a filmed industry sharing, supported by Arts Council England. She produces and hosts bi-monthly open mic nights called Cartref yn y Ddinas at the London Welsh Centre. Grace is driven by a passion for creating community-driven work that speaks to and from the Working-Class experience, embedding access from inception. As part of the Homegrown Festival 2026, she would love to fuse Art and Sports via a fundraising event for Jamaica’s National Rugby League Team, The Reggae Warriors, with a focus on its Working-Class roots and legacy to help build investment, support and a sustainable future. Grace is a long-term supporter of the team (and recently travelled as far as Albi, Southern France to support her brother-in-law in action!).
