Ryan Oxley Writer: MY MONOLOGUES

'ON STRIKE!'- is a SHEFFIELD-based monologue about a railway strike at the local station. A monologue I wrote that was sparked by the recent strikes by the working classes against the corporate capitalists.

LATE NIGHT, SHEAF STREET - is a monologue inspired by Sheffield Railway Station, its incredible history, and a song by The Arctic Monkeys. It debuted on BBC Radio Sheffield and is probably my best work.

'PIS%ED!' is a poem inspired by many bus journeys and my previous life as a boozer! I chose this image of a typical bus stop (Abbeydale Road, Sheffield) as this is a typically grey northern bus stop I would find myself standing at. I wrote this after seeing John Cooper-Clarke do a gig at Sheffield City Hall.
