About the playwright
Murphy's musicals and plays have proven popular in over 40 countries. He won the Siskiyou Performing Arts Center 2007 Playwriting Award, and his plays have won awards for excellence in Massachusetts, Kansas, and Texas.
Musicals
His most popular musical is 'Aesop’s Fables, the Musical,' Other popular shows include 'Drama Club Must Die,' 'Olivia Twist,' 'Rapunzel,' 'Macbeth, the Musical,' 'Hamlet, the Musical,' 'Jane Eyre, A One Act Musical Farce,' and 'A Musical Mother Goose.'
One Act Plays
'Blind Date, Inc.' deals with a series of blind dates, often strange and always comical. Other one acts are based on novels and short stories, including 'The Lady or the Tiger,' 'Pride and Prejudice,' 'Silas Marner,' 'Wuthering Heights,' Mark Twain’s 'Diary of Adam and Eve,' and a number of Chekhov stories adapted for the stage.

Youth Theatre and Rhyming Plays (And one Spooner play!)
Rhyming plays by Murphy include 'Rhyming Goldilocks,' 'Hansel and Gretel,' 'Three Little Pigs,' and 'The Pied Piper.' His proudest achievement in the area of youth theatre, however, is 'Cagic Mup,' a spectacular play spiced with sparkling Spoonerisms!
