"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.
