Robert Cantillon picked up the guitar when he heard Bob Dylan, and the pen when he read Sam Shepard. He hasn’t put either down since.

His plays are chaotic whirlwinds of absurdism and surrealism. His songs are rooted in the vintage traditions of rock, folk, and the blues. He is always working not only to write, but to produce that writing - to share it, to offer engagement with it. It was this drive which led him to transition from predominantly writing fiction to writing for the stage and the screen. His music informs his plays, and vice versa - he is committed every day to the pursuit of new, exciting, and meaningful art to share.
