| Summary | First produced at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1996, 'Knives in Hens' is a brutal fable of awakening consciousness, a stark, fierce study of sex and knowledge set in a timeless and spartan rural community, where conversation is a blunt and functional tool. The wife of a ploughman has no understanding of the figurative language he uses, but she begins an extraordinary journey towards articulacy, demanding names for the world she sees around her and seeking knowledge that will lead her towards God. At the same time, a threatening love triangle emerges between the couple and the reviled village miller. |
