BWW Interview: Georgia Christou and Lizzie Nunnery Talk Writing for Tonic Theatre's Platform Project

The two latest additions to the Platform series are 'Bright. Young. Things.' by Georgia Christou and 'Heavy Weather' by Lizzie Nunnery. We spoke to Georgia and Lizzie about what it was like to be part of the Platform project, and why they feel the project is so important.

Inis Nua Presents American Premiere of THE SWALLOWING DARK by Lizzie Nunnery
Myths and dreams will swirl through the Louis Bluver Theatre at The Drake (302 South Hicks Street) in October as Inis Nua presents Lizzie Nunnery's The Swallowing Dark. From England, this drama deals with the bureaucratic fragility of asylum for one family, but the nature of truth itself commands center stage. As The Independent said, Can the truth ever be turned into a clear, consistent story? That's one of the troubling questions that underlie The Swallowing Dark, Lizzie Nunnery's powerfully suggestive new play.
