Abstract
Dramaturgical project involving the creative development of a play by Katie Pollock, the outcome of which was a live recorded play-reading of the play.
People Inside Me is a swirling narrative of scattered memories and shattered lives, centred on Lauren coming to terms with a troubled past and an uncertain future. She confronts her fear of death by working with it on a daily basis, but even the black humour of the cremation industry can’t jolt her out of her unease. As she battles her biological clock in a flimsy bid to create a generational obligation, the unclaimed ashes of dead children begin to infiltrate her waking life and demand that she confront her greatest fear – that we are all, in the end, alone.
Writer Katie Pollock was awarded the 2018 Rodney Seaborn Playwrights Award for People Inside Me.
Cast: Kate Blackhurst, Joel Horwood, Ylaria Rogers, Will Tran
Director: Tracy Bourne
Dramaturg: Rebecca Clode
