Premiered at the Royal National Theatre, this extraordinary new
play by one of Britain's leading playwrights combines English folk
tales with modern urban life. In terms of its language alone, it is
as exciting and challenging on the page as on the stage. The play
follows the Skriker, 'a shapeshifter and death portent, ancient and
damaged, ' in its search for love and revenge as it pursues two
young women to London, changing its shape at every new encounter.
Along with the Skriker come Rawheadandbloodybones, the Kelpie, the
Green Lady, Black Dog and more, till the whole country is swarming
with enticing and angry creatures that have burst from the
underworld.
