"'Inside Outside Lydia's Head' was driven by my experience of working on an aid convoy to Bosnia-Herzegovnia. The level of destruction I witnessed will stay with me forever. After I returned, I cried for three days. The dead are dead, there is nothing you can do other than afford them the dignity of burial. I thought of those living, their lives irrevocably destroyed by war. Thoughts of who was at fault, rapidly became irrelevant. I started writing on the basis of putting one of these victims into an environment where they had no chance of understanding what had happened (or was happening) to them. The script was written over a very short time and whilst there are characters of different hues, they are all victims of life in their own way."
