Dublin Theatre Festival 2024: Georgina Miller’s account of her recent life mixes daredevil adrenaline with humour and a lightness of touch
There’s a point early in Freefalling when the playwright and actor Georgina Miller, whose own story this is, comes out with that old you-couldn’t-make-it-up line. She then goes on to share a wild and extraordinary story about a series of true incidents over six months in her real life that ... you couldn’t make up.
The story: there she is, footloose and in search of adventure and possibly meaning, travelling Asia and Australasia for six months, jumping out of planes, surfing waves, diving with sharks, falling happily in love, sometimes suffering from “chronic Irishness”. While visiting an old friend now living in Samoa – “come and relax in paradise” – Miller is afflicted by a sudden, mysterious and painful paralysis.
