Intemperance by Lizzie Nunnery
Intemperance is set among the Irish community of nineteenth-century Liverpool, looking at migration and intergenerational tension through a historical prism. 'Filled with depth and poignancy.' THE STAGE 'Liverpool's modern day Ibsen . . . I can only urge you to get thee to a Nunnery.' GUARDIAN Liverpool, September 1854. St Georges Hall is about to open to huge celebration, the city is reaching a peak of trading success and redevelopment is everywhere, but for a family living in a back-street cellar room in the midst of a cholera epidemic, the obstacles to change come as much from within as without. Intemperance premiered at the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool, in September 2007.
