Honor Molloy

Honor Molloy (born May 25, 1961) also known as Honour Kane, is an Irish-American playwright. Known for her “signature acrobatic language” and “kaleidoscopic use of malapropisms,” Molloy’s plays and musicals have been produced at over 100 venues across the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, and India.

Throughout her career, Molloy has been awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, a Harvard Radcliffe Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship, 3 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowships, 2 Frederick Loewe Awards for Musical Theatre, and a Creative Capital Award. In 2017 she received a Proclamation from the New York City Council for "Contributions to Irish Culture."

Andy Webster of The New York Times has compared Molloy’s writing favorably to that of Conor McPherson and Martin McDonagh. Stanley Crouch of the New York Daily News once described Molloy as “beyond recommendation, her writing and performances should be mandatory events for all civilized people.”
