Quicksand

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Elizabeth Moynihan 

  • Synopsis

    Loosely inspired by the McKinnon case, where a mother fought for 10 years to prevent her autistic son from being extradited to the USA for breaking into military sites on his computer, Quicksand delves into difficult questions about the media and its relationship to the justice system, through the story of a family faced with near-impossible odds.
