Ep 10: The Collectibles Special with Liz Walker (Midnight Special Podcast)

What do tiny toy cars have to do with an existential crisis?

Midnight Special Podcast finds out by interviewing performer and writer Liz Walker whose one-woman show Playworn premieres at Fringe World at the State Theatre Centre Wednesday February 4 to Sunday February 8.

Playworn covers a strange period in Liz’s life where she was employed selling a tiny toy car collection from a deceased estate. But the show is also about more than that, looking at societal pressures on women in their 30s as well as the lightness and darkness of life.

Your hosts Tristan Fidler, Drew Kraplijanov and Howie Ng learn more about the inspiration behind Playworn while also falling into several digressions about collectables – from the Rosebud sled to Citizen Cane and a Sex and the City DVD boxset – and working to define what a ‘collectable’ is thanks to Howie’s trademark rubric!
