August 31, 2017

Claire Moyer is beginning to shape our fall production starring Walter DeShields and Jessica M. Johnson. Claire directed last year's Radiant Vermin and Swallow and is also Inis Nua's Literary Manager and Associate Director. Walter is the Co-Founder and Associate Artistic Director of Theatre in the X, and Jessica M. Johnson has been seen in New Paradise Laboratories' Gumshoe and The Legend of Georgia McBride at the Arden Theatre Company. 

Honorary Producer Louis Bluver is helping them bring you The Swallowing Dark, which pulls us into the bureaucratic fragility of asylum for one family and takes us from a dreary Liverpool office to the streets of Harare, Zimbabwe. Longtime Inis Nua collaborator Meghan Jones will handle the set design, and Avista Custom Theatrical Services provides the props. Sound design is by Elizabeth Atkinson with lighting design handled by Amanda Jensen...they both set the scene for Radiant Vermin. Swallow's costume designer Natalia de la Torre is back for this production with newcomer Alex Donnelly as stage manager. Inis Nua veterans Joe Daniels (technical director) and Lauren Tracy (production manager) both return this season under the umbrella of the newly formed company Flannel and Hammer.
