Glendyn Ivin directed The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, which was written by Sarah Lambert, Kirsty Fisher, and Kim Wilson. Here is Prime Video’s official teaser trailer for the show:
The trailer tells the narrative of the main heroine, Alice Hart (Alycia Debnam-Carey). She lives with her grandma June Hart (Sigourney Weaver) when her parents are tragically killed in a home fire. Years pass, and Alice grows from a little child to a mature lady. However, Alice needs answers to the questions she has regarding her heinous past. She leaves her grandmother’s house in search of them, eventually uncovering some terrifying facts about her strange family and her background. The play is set in Australia, where Holly Ringland, author of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, grew up.
Holly Ringland detailed the novel’s writing process in an interview with Absolutely Anything. She also discussed how her buddy Kate Gray assisted her.
Ringland said,
“I graduated in 2011, but it took me three and a half years to start writing Lost Flowers.” So there was a lot of stumbling about. I felt like I was stumbling about, trying to regain my footing. Kate Gray, a great friend and American author, was one of the things that helped me regain my feet.”
She went on to explain what her book meant to her.
“Writing Lost Flowers was a reckoning of telling the truth of my experiences, through Alice Hart’s story of what it’s like to have a big imagination and emotions that feel like they’re going to swallow you whole,” she says.
She went on to say,
“And what it’s like to live with unspoken trauma that casts a long shadow over your life, and how beautiful life can be when we ask for help, when we allow people to love us, and that we can be more than what people have done to us.” “Those are the emotional truths I discovered.”
