Knives in Hens

Theatre Exile, Philadelphia

About the Show

A young woman works the soil beside her new husband, with her eyes firmly planted on the mud beneath their feet. When a chance meeting with the village’s outcast brings new words and new ideas into her life, the three become locked in an erotic struggle. Words may be as strong as a lover’s arms and as dangerous as a jealous streak, but violence can still tear a family apart. Knives in Hens will seduce you with its poetry and keep you sitting on the edge of your seat until its climax.
