Summary:

"An outstanding new Scottish play: David Harrower's Knives in Hens, set in a God-fearing, pre-industrial rural community and dealing, passionately and intelligently, with a woman's discovery of a language that corresponds with her feelings ... A remarkable theatrical debut."-Guardian

"Harrower's remarkable debut as a professional dramatist creates a haunting, poetic, and entirely individual world of its own. I have never seen a play quite like it ... You leave the theatre in no doubt that you have watched one of the year's most heartening and accomplished debuts. Harrower already seems like a writer built to last."-Daily Telegraph

Knives in Hens received its premiere at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in June 1995 and transferred to the Bush Theatre, London, in November 1995. This new edition??was published to coincide with the revival at the Traverse Theatre in August 1997.
