‘Alice Birch”s new play is scored like a piece of music … It is an extraordinary echoing text, full of pain and strange beauty. The three stories play out simultaneously on stage, the dialogue from one scene overlapping with the other two in a manner that borders on the choral … Birch has provided a text that explores these ideas in a formally invigorating way.’ The Stage
Three generations of women. For each, the chaos of what has come before brings with it a painful legacy.
A powerful, unflinching look at a family afflicted with severe depression and mental illness. Presented as a triptych of plays performed side by side, this groundbreaking play reverberates with audiences and readers. Published for the first time in Methuen Drama”s Modern Classics series, this edition features a brand new introduction by Ava Davies.
