A hugely acclaimed new play based on a 15th century Bohemian story
Written in the 15th century by the Bohemian humanist and writer
Johannes Von Saaz, Death and the Ploughman is a tragic dialogue
between Death and a recently widowed farmer. It is here dramatised
by the acclaimed translator Michael West as an adversarial duel
where the farmer's defence of mankind is as strong as Death's
ruthless prosecution of his own cause."Quite extraordinary...This
translation is an eloquent one, filled with jewelled words and
edged debate, a tribute to the original author and a serious
achievement by his successor" - Irish Times "Immensely personal,
manifestly sceptical of received religious wisdom, and utterly
fascinating, a Durer engraving given audible life" - Sunday
Independent Death and the Ploughman is published to tie in with its
production at the Gate Theatre, London in October 2002 Praise for
Michael West's FOLEY: "a gem" (Sunday Independent); "Splendidly
crafted" (Washington Post); "Simply superb" (Irish Times)
