Author Description

"Includes Icecream, an unsettling look at British attitudes to America and vice versa; Mad Forest, Churchill's response to the Romanian Revolution; Thyestes, 'a bleakly eloquent new translation of Seneca's Roman tragedy'...; and The Skriker, a 'spell-binding' piece combining English folk tales with modern urban life... Also included are two collaborative pieces combining word and dance: A Mouthful of Birds, written with David Lan, and Lives of the Great Poisoners, a libretto to music by Orlando Gough and choreography by Ian Spink."--Page 4 of cover.
