When the Crows Visit (NHB Modern Plays) - Softcover

A startling, powerful play... a triumphant translation. --Evening Standard

A haunting beast of a play, one that persistently claws away at expectations and comforts until nothing remains but a raw, painful wound. --The Stage

Powerful, thought-provoking and suspenseful... wonderfully dramatic and potent. --LondonTheatre1.com

'...and all the sins of his father and his forefathers came out of his body, through the pores of his skin, in the form of crows.' When a son returns home after being accused of a violent crime, a mother is forced to confront the ghosts of her past when the crows visit. Inspired by true events in modern-day India, When the Crows Visit explores the themes of Ibsen's Ghosts and the cyclical nature of oppression. This dark and thrilling play premiered at Kiln Theatre, London, in 2019, directed by Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham.
