Matthew McEIhinney

A theatre director, a football fan and a child of the peace process

Matthew McElhinney is a theatre director, a football fan and a child of the Northern Irish peace process. As a theatre director he is steward of a great legacy of work from his mother; the playwright Marie Jones, including his recent LPT award-winning production of ‘A Night in November’. As a football fan he is a part of the transformation of Northern Irish support, from the sectarian dark days of the 1990’s to the accolade of the ‘Best fans in Europe,’ and the winners of the Grand Vermeil. As a child of the peace, he has hope for the future.
