Description

Intemperance is a new play set among the Irish community of 19th century Liverpool, looking at migration and inter-generational tension through a historical prism. Set in a Liverpool in September 1854 , St Georges Hall is about to open to huge celebration, the city is reaching a peak of trading success and redevelopment is everywhere, but for a family living in a back street cellar room in the midst of a cholera epidemic, the obstacles to change come as much from within as without. Lizzie Nunery is currently one of six writers on attachment to Paines Plough Theatre Company under the Future Perfect Scheme. She is one of the BBC / London Royal Court 50 to support emerging talent across the country.
