The Scottish Plays: Knives In Hens

In a pre-industrial landscape, an unsettling and threatening love triangle emerges between the young woman, the ploughman and the hated miller. Knives in Hens is a remarkable play about the transformative power of knowledge and an emerging consciousness as the world moves from rural to the urban and industrial.

The cast includes Natasha Broomfield and Alex Ferns.

First staged at the Traverse Theatre in 1995, Knives in Hens was playwright David Harrower's first professionally produced work. It has since been staged in 25 countries around the world and is widely acknowledged as a modern Scottish classic.
