Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Work:: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (S1905977531)

The story unfolds through the eyes of 65 year-old local woman, Janina - itself a radical act in a society which seeks to render older women invisible. Janina is engaged in fierce resistance against the injustices around her, and refuses to be a prisoner of society and gender. Her actions ask questions both of the male world which surrounds her and of our deeper human intentions. What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be animal, and can we separate the two? Why is the killing of animals sport and that of humans murder?

Book by	Olga Tokarczuk
Author	Simon McBurney (in collaboration with a team of long-standing Complicite associates)

What a truly amazing show, Complicite at its best

CORONAVIRUS: All venues in the UK were shut down on March 16, 2020, and the restrictions were finally lifted on July 19, 2021. It is important to mention that the UK Theatre Web archive listings (iUKTDb) from March 2020 to July 2021 might not be accurate due to the lack of information regarding rescheduled and cancelled shows.
