EXTRACT: Before you went under, you were sitting in the waiting room, staring blankly at the Today Show. You had been told to put those really bitter tasting pills under your tongue and let them dissolve, slowly- let them disintegrate and seep into you. They had some drug in them to dilate your cervix, remember? To soften it. It’s weird thinking of any part of your body as hard, or tough, especially that part, but anyway, you had to sit there for three hours while those bitter pieces of chalk disintegrated into your mouth, just waiting, preparing to have me gone.

REVIEW

STAGE WHISPERS, FLORA GEORGIOU, 2019.

"...the dialogue is poetic with poignant allegorical imagery and musings as these two people try to make amends with life changing experiences..." Flora Georgiou
