Liz Dyer, Theatre Things
They made beautiful patterns in the sky and then just disappeared
Jade is alone, always alone, until one night Liam accidently knocks on her door looking for a party. What he finds is more beautiful then he could ever imagine, yet it might just break them both. Set against an isolated council estate, nest is the beautifully messy love story of two people forgotten by society, with nowhere left to turn but to each other.
nest by award-winning Australian playwright Katy Warner, was shortlisted from 1,600 plays during the prestigious Theatre503 playwriting award 2016 and also for the Live Theatre's Live Lab Bursary 2017. Small Truth Theatre are proud to present the world premiere of this striking new play as part of VAULT Festival 2018.
