“There ent much use for reality out here,
but I could tell you a few truths. I could
sing you a song of welly boots and blood,
knitting needles and castor oil. There will
be pigs that scream, a girl who cannot feed
herself, a miracle baby – and a flatness that
consumes us.”
Take one baby and a mother who’s not sure if she’s ready. Add
a soldier returned from war and a grandmother holding the fort.
Mix in a landscape of flatness and a pinch of violence in the
countryside and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get a miracle.
A play about wanting a better life.
