Limerick's Georgina Miller Georgina is an actress, writer and voice-over artist. She's also a graduate of the full-time actor training course at the Gaiety School of Acting. Georgina won the award for Best Actress from the Guinness ISDA Festival for her performance in "At the Black Pig’s Dyke" (MIDAS). In this month's episode she talks to us about her debut play, a hybrid aerial show called "Freefalling". Freefalling is an autobiographic play about a backpacking trip in her 30s during which she developed the incredibly rare Guillain-Barre syndrome which left her paralysed, alone and fearing for her life on a hospital bed in Samoa. Spoiler: she lives to tell the tale. Hear and see it for yourself at the Limetree Theatre in Limerick City in September and at this year's Dublin Theatre Festival in Draíocht in Dublin in October.  Freefalling is a co-production between Rough Magic Theatre Company and Limetree Theatre in association with Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Company.  In this episode we discuss the absolute dud that was the Grey's Anatomy musical episode; the creative process of turning your trauma into art and learning to distance yourself from the story; finding a team of collaborators you can trust to guide your work; the divide between the self as writer and the self as performer; and quieting the voice inside that says you can't do something.  https://x.com/RoughMagicIRL https://dublintheatrefestival.ie/event/freefalling/  https://limetreebelltable.ie/events/freefalling-2/  https://www.instagram.com/rough.magic  The Limerick Lady is a grassroots movement based in Limerick, Ireland, with a focus on promoting conversation around gender, visibility, gender balance and the arts.
