She casts a fearless gaze - on both herself and her subject to write scripts that are bleakly funny, challenging whilst remaining compassionate and warm. She is particularly interested in marrying form with subject and was short-listed in 2012 for a Total Theatre Award in the category of 'Innovation, experimentation, and playing with form' for her work Still Life: An Audience with Henrietta Moraes which continues to tour art spaces and galleries. http://www.suemaclaine.com/ Original music by James Iremonger www.jamesiremonger.co.uk Conceived, produced and engineered by Cian O Siochain

Some of Davis’ supporters included Pope Benedict XVI, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and former Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georiga. Their efforts to stop the execution weren’t successful. On September 21, 2011, the state of Georgia executed Troy Davis. Atlanta-based playwright Lee Nowell was captivated by the case.

It premiered at Synchronicity in 2016, and was called "Beyond Reasonable Doubt: The Troy Davis Project.” Each act of the play may lead you to a different conclusion about Troy Davis’ innocence or guilt. Lee Nowell adapted the play for GPB as a podcast and radio broadcast, featuring all the original actors.
