Conversation with Cordelia O’Neill - Writer, Poet and Playwright

In this episode I talk with writer, poet and playwright, Cordelia O’Neill.

We discuss Cordelia’s play ‘Anything is Possible if You Think About it Hard Enough’ about a young couple whose baby is born still. We discuss creativity as a tool for developing empathy and how experiencing loss can bring you closer to joy, love and hope.

And we talk about the twist of fate where Cordelia’s life imitated her art.

This episode includes swearing and an in depth and detailed conversation about our personal experiences of late stage termination for medical reasons, so please be aware before listening.

Welcome to my chat with the tender and ever so lovely Cordelia.

You can find Cordelia online on X @cordeliaoneill3 or at www.smallthingstheatre.com

If you or someone you know has experienced or is experiencing baby loss through late stage termination, you can find support at ARC (antenatal results and choices) www.arc-uk.org
