THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:

KNIVES IN HENS

Written by David Harrower & Directed by Leora Morris

KNIVES IN HENS is a complex fable of awakening consciousness, set in a rural community in a pre-industrial era. We meet a character simply known as Young Woman, bound to a village ploughman called Pony William. Like everyone else in this God-fearing village she has learned to both hate and fear the local miller. But upon meeting, she finds him a source of empowerment and emotional release--and thus is enabled to escape her husband and her long-repressed identity and truth.
