Mousewings: a post-apocalyptic urban fairytale (Produced Plays by Rachel Lynn Brody Book 4)

“If you were three mice in a cage, one of you would be the weakest mouse. When the other two mice got hungry enough they would eat the weakest mouse. Eat it until its tumors were lying exposed on its back, or till someone from the lab came in and gave it a shot. Put it out of its misery. We’d do it for a mouse…”

It's the end of the world. A disease decimates the population. A cancer-researcher's home is invaded by two escapees from a housing project, making their way to the coast. A giant bird-turned-man haunts her memories. Mice turn cannibal under pressure; are human beings any different?

First produced in 2007 at the Bedlam Theatre during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
