This week we are delighted to welcome Elise Esther Hearst to the studio.
Elise is an award-winning writer and performer based in Melbourne, Australia.
Elise trained at the Royal Court Theatre in London and has been a playwright-in-residence at Melbourne Theatre Company and Griffin Theatre.
Her best-selling debut novel, One Day We’re All Going to Die, was published by Harper Collins in 2023 and was shortlisted for The Age Book of the Year Award 2024.
Her theatre work has appeared at various theatres around Australia, including A Very Jewish Christmas Carol (Melbourne Theatre Company) and Yentl, which won the Green Room Award for Outstanding Writing 2023 (Sydney Opera House, Malthouse Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne).
Elise is currently working on her second novel, and a screen adaptation of her novel One Day We’re All Going to Die.
We start the podcast badly - well the Scotsman does - he researches the wrong Elise Hearst and has to back track much to the Aussie's amusement - but then we are off and running.
A truly interesting insight into the life of a writer, from concept to completion to production and publishing . Elise brings a warmth and intelligence to the podcast that has been lacking for a while.
Please enjoy our interview with Elise Esther Hearst.
