Description

Bringing together five plays exploring our notions of family, myth, death, truth and the ever-fluctuating nature of reality, Carl Grose: Plays One celebrates the possibilities of theatre and humanitys desperate need to tell stories in order to survive. This collection includes Groses blood-splattered love letter to the theatre, Grand Guignol, plus a quartet of anarchic Cornish-set comedies: Superstition Mountain, Horse Piss For Blood, 49 Donkeys Hanged and The Kneebone Cadillac.
