After going to Oxford University where he gained experience directing, designing and acting in plays, Gray went to work on the London fringe, starting with a cross-cast production of John Marston's The Malcontent at the Latchmere Theatre. He subsequently won a Regional Theatre Young Director's Bursary to work at the Liverpool Playhouse where he reopened the Studio Theatre with a season of new plays. Gray then worked with playwright Gregory Motton on three of his plays in Paris until he began work at Royal Court in 2000, initially as International Associate, then as Associate Director until he left the company in July 2009. His production of Simon Stephen's Motortown was also seen at the Wiener Festwochen in 2006 and this has led to further productions of Simon Stephen's plays in German, Am Strand der weiten Welt at the Volkstheater Wien which won the Karl-Skraup Prize in 2007 and Harper Regan with Martina Gedeck at the 2008 Salzburg Festspiele, later at the Deutsche Schauspielhaus Hamburg. Hamburg also saw Gray's debut as an opera director with Death in Venice at the Staatsoper in 2009, a production also seen at Theater an der Wien.[2]
