A Mouthful of Birds (Methuen New Theatrescript)

Against the backcloth of Euripides' The Bacchae, the most darkly anarchic and sexually disturbing drama in Greek literature, Caryl Churchill, author of Top Girls (Royal Court, 1982) and David Lan, author of Flight (RSC, 1986), working with Joint Stock Theater Group, have created a contemporary play of startling intensity combining drama and dance.
