Work in progress script-reading of new work about how Louise's Nana Violet's hobbies are suspiciously similar to recent climate protest tactics (jigsaws, tinned soup, confetti, orange sherbet and walking slowly to annoy buses). Has Nana Violet's ghost returned to Earth as the Creative Director of Just Stop Oil? A political comedy about class, capitalism and climate activism, celebrating ordinary heroes. Performed at Staffordshire Street Gallery, Peckham, London. September 2024. Video documentation by Tamsin Kavanagh.
