A new play opens in Brisbane at the Judith Wright Centre today.

'Flood Country' takes inspiration from both the 1974 and 2011 floods in Brisbane and is performed by a cast of performers who have disabilities.

It tells the story of two estranged siblings who meet again thanks to the mud army.

Clark Crystal is the writer and director of 'Flood Country' and also artistic director of Blue Roo Theatre Company.

And Claire Stevens is one of the performers.
