"Live in hope. You have chosen heat.
The desert. The King's feet".
Such is one curious quote from the upcoming new play by Louise Melinn and Máirín O'Grady: The King's Feet. I meet the playwrights to discuss this dark comedy/dystopian fairytale.
"The Irish emigrants moving to Australia - that was the narrative we were looking at", says O'Grady.
