Tings Dey Happen wins Glickman prize

Tings Dey Happen, a solo show by Dan Hoyle about Nigerian oil politics, has won the Will Glickman Playwright Award for the best new play to premiere in 2007. Developed with and directed by Charlie Varon (a former Glickman winner himself), Tings started at the Marsh and recently ended a NY run. It's a somewhat surprising win, given that the award is decided by local theatre reviewers, yet only one of the judges included the show in their best-of-2007 lists (to be fair, Chad Jones included it in a later column of runners-up). Well, at least they didn't forget they loved it at awards time.
Anyway, I really hope he brings the show back here -- I never got to see it in its original production, and I was very sorry to miss it. Congrats, Dan Hoyle!
