After his dad dies, Hamlin's goal is to finish school, get a good job and build a better life for himself and his mum, Mama H. When live-wire Quinn and troubled Nic offer Hamlin easy money in return for some county-line drug trafficking, his dreams, his mother's hopes and the friendship of the three are put to the test.

King Hamlinis the winner of best full-length stage play at 2022 Scriptwriters & Co International Festival. It premiered at London's Park Theatre on 19thOctober 2022.
