The three plays in this volume are hauntingly beautiful pieces with
simple fable-like characters who are touched by magical events. A
circus has a mysterious significance in Missing (Mis) as a mother
and daughter are visited by a blind policeman on the nights it
comes to town. In Crossing (Drif) a stormy night brings a hypnotist
to the home of two sisters who live by a ford, two women who bury
the bodies of fortune-seekers who fail to heed their warnings about
the river when it is in flood. Miracle (Mirakel) centres on a
theatrical troupe and again exemplifies the author's earthiness,
humour and child-like wonder.
