Sheer Nerve

Sheer Nerve presents Linda Griffiths’s early plays: from Maggie & Pierre, the phenomenal examination of politics and celebrity that launched her career; through the riveting spiritual odyssey of Jessica, written in collaboration with Aboriginal author and activist Maria Campbell; and the honest courage of The Darling Family‘s journey through the minefield of unplanned pregnancy; to her popular hit The Duchess, and the “scandalous” ambition of American divorcée Wallis Simpson—Griffiths gives us theatre of a new order, with rigorous self-reflection and characters who defy notoriety. A challenge to mediocrity, Griffiths’s plays are inspiring, gutsy, and passionate, placing her in the highest dramatic traditions of our time. Also includes O.D. on Paradise, Brother Andre’s Heart, and A Game of Inches.
