The NHB Playgroup from Nick Hern Books brings you one great play to read and discuss each month, followed by a Q&A with the writer.
In this episode of The NHB Playgroup Q&A Podcast, we spoke to John O'Donovan about his haunting and funny drama Flights. We discuss how real-life events formed part of the play's development, just how many litres of liquid the actors had to consume every night, and how John's writing may change now he's returned from London to his homeland of Ireland.
Flights premiered in 2020 at glór in Ennis before transferring to Dublin and London, directed by Thomas Martin.
CONTENT WARNING: Please note that this episode features discussion of the content of the play, which includes suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
