Episode 13 - Drowning at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe

from Persistent and Nasty · host Persistent and Nasty

Louise has a fantastic chat with some of the incredible women of brand new play, Drowning. She was in the stellar company of playwright Jessica Ross, producer Kendell Shaffer and actress Aurora Henning. Louise had an absolute blast with these talented, inspiring and powerhouse ladies. They chat all things feminism, pursuing your goals, the #WomenOfFringe initiative and murder! This is definitely a killer episode. Pun intended 😉 . . . About Drowning - What makes a killer? What makes the yearning for connection and friendship so great that you would do anything? How does a mind justify the most terrifying act? In 1991, four Austrian nurses were charged with murdering 49 patients in their beds, but were suspected of killing up to 200. The world premiere of this blistering new play by Jessica Ross, directed by Steven Roy and executive produced by Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss, forces us to confront all we deem evil, horrible, and hideous. Look carefully enough, and we might just see a little bit of ourselves.
