Description In 2015, Patrick's mum took her own life. How did this happen? Drawn from interviews conducted with friends & family, Livesey portrays eight different characters each with an insight into Naomi's life, each grappling with the weight of grief, regret and love.You might not expect to laugh during a production about the suicide of the playwright's mother, but Patrick Livesey'™s verbatim play, Naomi, peppers sad reminiscences with laugh-out-loud stories about Naomi'™s character and antics.
