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

In 2015 Tonic Theatre launched the Platform project, in which they commissioned plays that put young women and their stories at the heart of the action, with mainly or entirely female casts. 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.

From England, this drama deals with the bureaucratic fragility of asylum for one family, but the nature of truth itself commands center stage.
