| The Mystery of Hill Street was commissioned by Dominic Cooke for the Royal Court in 2010 and delivered shortly after. It was rejected by Dominic Cooke and Literary Manager Chris Campbell, without a reading; they said it was "disturbing and static". It has not so far been produced anywhere else. It is about love, rape and Repressed Memory Syndrome, Dissociative Disorder and the struggle to unlock a human heart; a psycho-detective story driven by motives of love and survival. It contains 19 songs, and requires 3 actors, 2 males and one female. The songs can be played by a 4 or 5 piece band. The setting is a street and a flat in London, and a mental hospital in Sweden, and a night train between the two countries. Songs: 1. Hill Street Eva 2. In The Cellar Eva 3. What's In your Eye Eva 4.
