Compendium of Dramatic Works
Play
‘…A brilliant compendium comprising all the dramatic works by that singular Surrealist and Absurdist talent Tony Hyland. Including 'A Night at Sea' , 'A Day in the Sun' and the rapturously received monologues : 'A Woman's World ' and 'Monster of State' .Also featuring the' Brexit' play, 'Forever England' which neatly encapsulates the issues around being British and highlighting the dangerous resurgence of the once dormant extreme right wing and the state of immigration in this country-all portrayed in an hilariously shocking and absurdist way. There are also the brilliant radio plays/sketches 'What about Edu?' ' The Interview' and 'Fulham' plus the bizarre and disturbing 'invitation to a royal wedding' -another utterly brilliant and original monologue featuring a recent immigrant from the Ivory Coast, abandoned by the state to live in a cold ,damp flat in Scotland, yet still awaiting her invitation to enjoy the royal wedding with her friends and family. A contemporary classic...I thoroughly recommend this compendium and also point you enthusiastically to his volumes of short stories and Fairy Tales for Adults !!!...’

The Bus Stop Duology
Play
‘…This duology features two duologues, both featuring, what in essence is a third character: a ‘Bus Stop’; both plays being incredibly funny, but also being hugely moving as the themes of loss, grief, mental fragility, abuse, revenge, and friendship/love are explored so intensely.
‘Never underestimate the importance of a Bus Stop’, centres on an older and younger man, who both develop an infatuation with a Bus Stop; both men undergoing what appears to be a mental breakdown, grieving at their misfortunes, but coming together in a surprise heart-warming, albeit shocking, denouement.
‘Paul Weller takes tea at two’, focuses on an ageing ‘Mod’, who has had his share of traumas too, who intends to meet his hero, The Jam Songwriter, Paul Weller…but all is not what it seems, as he confronts his past with his sister. Very moving, humorous, and another shocking ending
