"Much the most reviled figure amongst the establishment Gregory has carved out a career in permanent opposition. He's the Dennis Skinner or the Tony Benn of the playwriting fraternity" Domonic Dromgoole, The Full Room: An A-Z of Contemporary Playwriting

He has also written 4o monologues between 2024-2025

His work is rarely  performed, in Britain.

He speaks fluent Swedish and is one of the chief translators of Strindberg's plays, known for his strict advocacy of translations rather than versions.
