Crocodile Fever by Meghan Tyler

“Irrepressible Irish theatre minx” Meghan Tyler is a queer fusion of writing and acting. Born and bred in good old Newry, they trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where the writing spark began. They thank The Lyric Theatre’s New Playwrights Programme, and The Traverse Theatre’s Channel 4 Playwrights Award for fanning the flames.
