His debut play Red Pitch, about brotherhood and gentrification, transferred to the West End in Spring 2024 to rave reviews and standing ovations, after selling out two runs at the Bush Theatre in 2022 and 2023. With the play, he became the first ever writer to win all five of the UK’s major debut writing awards, including the Evening Standard, George Devine, Stage, Off West End, and Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards. He is currently under commission to Eleanor Lloyd Productions for his next play, and on attachment to the National Theatre.
His first foray into screen was co-creating, co-writing and directing the web series #HoodDocumentary with Kayode Ewumi.

He wrote an episode for Jemaine Clement/Iain Morris’ Time Bandits remake (Apple/Paramount) that critics have called “standout” (see a clip from the episode which went viral on X here) and is currently writing an ep for S2. He is also adapting Red Pitch for TV with Fudge Park, and developing another original TV series with ITV. Tyrell’s been named one of Deadline’s 5 rising writers to watch in 2023, is a BAFTA Elevate graduate (2018) and was a Broadcast Hotshot (2016).
