Dan Hoyle has been invited by the US State Department to perform Tings Dey Happen, his award-winning show, in Nigeria.

"A smart, engrossing, funny, challenging and moving look at… Nigeria's bloody oil politics...an aptly complex, hard-hitting piece that paints memorably touching and entertaining figures." -Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

Dan Hoyle is taking Tings Dey Happen, his award-winning, solo play about Nigerian oil politics, on a whirlwind tour of Nigeria, sponsored by the U.S. State Department. The show, based on Hoyle's year in Nigeria studying oil politics on a Fulbright Scholarship, will travel to five cities in two weeks this October as part of the State Department's public diplomacy focus on anti-corruption issues.

To help Hoyle prepare for perhaps his most important audience yet, The Marsh will present a short nine-show revival of Tings Dey Happen during the last three weekends in September.

In this time of rising energy politics, and as witnessed by the State Department's invitation, the show remains, if anything, even more relevant than when it premiered in 2007.
