Best Possible World

Bride is a kind-hearted, free-spirited Australian of Irish descent. She works half the year in her cousin Orla’s back packers’ hostel in the west coast of Ireland and the other half chasing love affairs and adventures across the globe. When Orla begins accepting asylum-seekers from all over the war-torn world, the new residents test the limits of Bride’s big heart.

Best Possible World was shortlisted for the Patrick White play of the Year Award, Ireland’s Corkadorka Award and the Rodney Seaborn Award and won the Siena International Play Award. It was presented at the Australian National Playwright’s conference and at the HotINK International Play Festival produced by Atlantic Theater Company New York. Film Victoria has awarded the writer a grant to write a screen play based on the stage play.
