#53: "KORE", a play by Danielle de Vries 🇿🇦 and Tommy Boyce 🇬🇧

July 25th, 2025

In this episode: I speak with Danielle de Vries and Tommy Boyce, who created the play “KORE.”


The play is about Sam who freefalls into prescription drug dependence, being prescribed Zopiclone and Lorazepam (also known as Ativan). The play is a tragicomedy loosely based on Persephone in the Underworld.


We talk about how the play came about and how it is for Danielle, not having experienced benzo harm firsthand, to play a character in the trenches of benzo withdrawal. I ask Tommy how it was directing the play and much more…


Kore plays on August 19th and 20th 2025 at the Cockpit Theatre in London, UK.
