Dyl [Paperback]

- Do you have to hold your breath? ... Can you do that?
- Yeah. Anyone can.
- Not me. Can't be doing without breath. I'd hate to drown. I'm a big fan of air ...

400 miles from home, James has started a new career as a rigger - two weeks onshore, two weeks offshore - existing between two very different spaces; and his daughter Dyl is with him in neither of them.
Instead he has Ryan, his live-in landlord - sarcastic, free-spirited and liable to say what he thinks before he thinks what he says.

As James focuses on finding the answers from within himself, he risks losing the very relationships that can keep him on track.

Dyl is a sad comedy about isolation, the righting of wrongs and shouldering life's responsibilities.

It received its world premiere on 9th May 2017 at The Old Red Lion Theatre, London
