Guest Fiction comes from the brilliant mind of Ivy Alvarez.

Ivy Alvarez plays both Mrs Winsley, the woman who witnessed the attack, and the nurse who cares for Sara in the hospital — the first with an intriguing nervousness that leaves the audience wondering what it is about her husband that Mrs Winsley is hiding from the detective.

Loved the intense physicality of the poems, so tightly bound into their sounds as well.

Alvarez is able to deconstruct and interrogate language and contextual meanings at a highly granular level, and craft a series of compelling re-interpretations.

The brevity of each poem is perhaps a testament to Alvarez’s knack for delving straight to the core of a moment, whether domestic or public.
