Early life

Gable was born in Lakenheath, Suffolk, England.[1] He grew up in Post Falls, Idaho,[3] then moved to Barstow, California after graduation.[4]

Career

During his time in California, Gable served as Artistic Director of the Hunger Artists Theatre Company from December 2006 to April 2009[1] where he directed the Orange County premieres of Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis[5] and Bryony Lavery's Frozen,[6] as well as writing the Flying Spaghetti Monster plays, which were covered by the official Flying Spaghetti Monster website.[7][8] He also wrote American Way,[9] which made its premiere at Los Angeles' Blank Theatre,[10] - and 140: A Twitter Performance, the first documented full-length fully original Twitter play.[11] He was named "one of Orange County's most genuinely innovative theatrical minds" by OC Weekly and called "one of O.C.'s more fertile theatrical minds" by The Orange County Register.[11][12]

After moving to Philadelphia, Gable wrote another Twitter play, The 15th Line,[13] as well as the stage plays D-Pad, which was a finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference,[14] and Go Ahead, which was presented at the National New Play Network's National Showcase of New Plays.[15]

In 2018, Gable adapted his play Watch Me Jump into a video game, which was made available for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.[16][17][18] The game was nominated for an Independent Games Festival Award for Excellence in Narrative.[19]

Gable is a co-founder of the feminist performance platform Ninth Planet.[20]
