Doyle's play examining the repetitive history of Western governments' failed policy responses to genocide in the modern era  -- when after all, it was you and me (or the genocide play) -- was Shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England.

Doyle conceived, wrote and directed the interdisciplinary theatre project W.M.D. (just the low points) – a deconstruction of American intelligence failures prior to the Iraq War -- which premiered at The Game Is Up! Festival in Vooruit Arts Centre (Gent) prior to a tour of Belgium and The Netherlands. For several years, Doyle researched the history of public funding for the arts in the United States and multiple countries in the European Union. This work culminated in September 2018 with the premiere of THE AЯTS at the TONY Award-winning La MaMa Experimental Theatre in New York, which Doyle also designed and co-directed with Mike Carlsen. Previous works incude: ATM or this is [not] new york at Monty Kultuurfaktorij (Antwerpen); Behind The Bullseye at the Ontological Theater (New York); THUIS: The First Season of Frank (w/ visual artist Evelyn Brosi) at Centrale Fies in Italy; Compression of a Casualty at Golden Thread (San Francisco); PMURT at the Vooruit Arts Centre; KONZUM | CONSUME at KNAP (Zagreb); and THE POSITION at the Ice Factory Festival in the Ohio Theatre (NYC).
