About me
My play ‘SUGA’, developed on Soho Theatre Writers’ Lab, was longlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwrighting Award and developed with the support of Theatre Royal Haymarket’s Masterclass. Following a rehearsed reading at Camden People’s Theatre in Spring 2026, SUGA will debut at Brixton House Theatre, September 2026.
Current projects include Costa del Null, a dark-comedy pilot about a commitment-phobe who flees London to ‘check-in’ on his mum in Marbella, only to uncover criminal operation run at the ex-pats' game of bingo, and a revisionist take on The Cherry Orchard set in Deptford, 2061. Still This Way follows a family desperately trying to insulate themselves from climate collapse before a government scheme threatens to flood their house into a tactical wetland. The piece explores the inter-connected relationship between colonialism and environmental collapse.

SUGA

Drowning in debt, Harry signs up to a website connecting individuals with wealthy ‘sugar daddies’. At first, Harry begins a seemingly straightforward transactional relationship with ‘Daddy’.

"There’s an insightful nod to Philip Ridley in Hyner’s text, and in how he allows his story to unfold whilst also holding back and leaving questions unanswered.” - The New Current
"Time spent immersed in Hyner’s work is a memorable sweet treat” - Everything Theatre
"SUGA is the best new writing I’ve seen in ages” - London Artists Project
