“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

Catch the 12 show encore presentation before Dan prepares to open his new solo show The Real Americans at The Marsh in January 2010.

Developed with and directed by solo performance master Charlie Varon TINGS DEY HAPPEN is a riveting adventure story, a geopolitical tour de force about the year Hoyle spent exploring the West African oil frontier. The Niger Delta has been targeted as the “new Middle East” of oil security and is an extremely dangerous place. Hoyle traveled alone around the swamps, befriending militants, warlords, diplomats, activists and prostitutes. Even the U.S. ambassador sought him out to find out what was going on. 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.
