1 Ladybird Ladybird Linda Nicholls-Gidley , 2023 single work drama

'Veronica is a Mum, she’s moved to a new state, she’s pregnant with number two, she’s trying to get it all done. On the surface she’s living the dream. When a visit to the obstetrician sends her into a tailspin, her world starts to crumble. How can she keep up appearances when every task seems impossible? Her ability to assess and manage risk diminishes, until an accident brings everything into sharp focus. Is this the wakeup call she needs to seek help? A story of love, loss, and motherhood through the lens of depression.'

1 Silenced Linda Nicholls-Gidley , 2022 single work drama

'It’s the year 2021, the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, and we are experiencing a new kind of silence; the streets void of activity, the echo of empty buildings, the muteness of zoom meetings. In the wake of this international crisis six women begin to speak. They share stories, they share truths, they share space.

'Throughout history silence has been weaponised, a convenient and devastating way to keep the peace. This play interweaves verbatim stories and scripted text with movement and sound to interrogate the reverberations of history’s use of silence.

'How loud is your silence?'
