hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Head spinning (in a good way) after seeing playwright Suzie Miller in conversation with ABC journo @natashamitchell.bsky.social at a Monash Alumni event tonight. What a smart, compassionate, engaged and engaging woman Miller is. Her play Prima Facie destroyed me, and I loved ‘meeting’ its creator
