IT TAKES A LOT NOT TO END UP DEAD! with NiKNaK Productions
NiKNaK Productions presents It Takes A Lot Not To End Up Dead, a collection of toe-tapping original songs and stories, weaving a conversation with Lizzie Flynn and her younger self (played by Ella Macrokanis) whilst she heads to her country town school reunion. The story revisits shared experiences of lost love, self-discovery, friendships and the healing that going home brings.

Lizzie Flynn writes songs that alternate between satirical toe-tapping tunes to tender ballads of lessons learnt and love lost. ‘Prisoner in my own Town’, from her latest album, was shortlisted in the 2016 Vanda and Young Songwriter Awards, alongside songwriters such as Josh Pyke and Tash Sultana.
Ella Macrokanis, emerging theatre and screen star, played Maddie Gallagher in the award-winning SBS mini drama, Safe Harbour, Corrine in The Butterfly Tree, and Pete’s daughter in Family Law 3.
