Marco Galea studied at the University of Malta and the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of Birmingham where he was awarded a PhD in 2004. He has published on Maltese theatre history, Maltese literature, postcolonial theatre and postcolonial theory. Between 2005-2007 he was President of L-Akkademja tal-Malti (The Maltese Writers' Union) during which time the Maltese organization was accepted into the European Writers' Council. His play celebrating the life and works of Francis Ebejer, Għażiż Francis, was performed successfully in 2007 and during the Malta International Arts Festival in 2008.

He was employed by the Mediterranean Institute in 2010 to teach Theatre Studies. He has been instrumental in setting up and running the School of Performing Arts' Digital Archive, a project which strives to document the history of performance in Malta and make it available to researchers.
