As Graham in “Extraordinary Wall (of Silence)”
The work reminds us that theatre allows, and perhaps demands, that worlds can be conjured anew each time: we can find new symbols and signs to tell stories, and both terror and beauty can be realised through shared codes and gesture.

One of my favourite roles that I played in: Cyrus ‘The Dictator’ Dearden in Ad Infinitum’s “LIGHT”:
A nightmarish tale of love, betrayal and technological power from the multi-award winning makers of Translunar Paradise and Ballad of the Burning Star.
Inspired by Edward Snowden’s revelations and state surveillance, Ad Infinitum conjures an Orwellian future where a totalitarian regime monitors the thoughts of its citizens through implants.
Blending anime-style storytelling and pulsating soundscapes, Light draws audiences into its sci-fi realm. Torchlight innovatively illuminates this wordless production set atmospherically in darkness.
REVIEW: A jaw-dropping technical achievement… conjures exotic dystopian vistas simply via a remarkable deployment of flashlights. It looks staggering

A night to remember on the red carpet at Italian Global Series Festival in Rimini, Italy (2025) 🇮🇹
“In the Limited Series category, the jury chaired by Bille August and composed of Barbara Abel, Deborah Davis, Alan Gasmer, and Riccardo Scamarcio presented the Maximo Best Actor Award to Matthew Gurney for Reunion.”

BAFTA Breakthrough UK 2025 🇬🇧
My breakthrough project is the TV series Reunion.
“Matthew’s sensational performance in one of the year’s best high-end TV productions, Reunion (2025). With deaf practitioners forming the bulk of cast and crew, Reunion was as groundbreaking as Matthew himself, who became the first deaf actor to lead on a mainstream British drama”
