Accessed April 28, 2025. URL: https://www.kevinfegan.co.uk</ref> Many of his works have been commissioned by major theatres across the United Kingdom. Fegan is recognised for his innovative site-specific productions, adaptations of real-life stories, and contributions to live literature and radio drama.
His writing style often blends prose and verse. His work explores a wide range of subjects, frequently focusing on the voices of disadvantaged communities, identity, artistic expression among non-professional artists, and the industrial regions of Britain.
His stage productions range from traditional one-person shows to large-scale multi-media performances. Notable works include ''The Palace of Varieties: The Life and Times of Dennis Skinner, Bess: The Commoner Queen, Obama: The Mamba, Fireflies, Slave: A Question of Freedom, White Trash, 52 Degrees South, Private Times, Excess XS, Strange Attractors, and Rule 43.''
