Description

Last time Samantha Harvey let the cat out of the bag, diving straight into the heart of her story Bona Fide Nihon-kitsch. This time Patrick Cash is a little less spoiler heavy as he talks about and reads from his story Trish Malone.Cash tells us how the cabaret artist who takes a leading role came to his rescue a few years back and has been "wandering around" ever since.He recalls work as a journalist reporting on the Albert Kennedy Trust, a charity specialising in young LGBTQ+ homelessness, which "fed into this story"."I'm interested in how some queer people can feel that distance from their family," Cash explains. "And then having to come back and reconnect with her brother was something I found fictively intriguing."As someone who grew up in the southwest, he understands the claustrophobia of small-town life and how some queer people "dream of leaving and going to the big city… But, of course, you never leave your past."Cash made his name as a spoken word poet and playwright, a training which he says stood him in good stead when writing for the page."What writing for performance really gave me is the understanding of what keeps an audience's attention," he says.
