**** Irish Examiner **** Metro **** Irish Mail on Sunday
a searing production ... a magnificently primal set, hauntingly lit ... an exciting, demanding production of a provocative, disturbing play Sunday Independent
stimulating and earthy, cerebral and austerely beautiful ... no production of Knives in Hens should ever be definitive. Landmarks production makes more than a stab at it, though The Irish Times
three actors at the top of their game ... a really fine production RTÉ, The View
haunting ... excellent ... outstanding Sunday Times
this smouldering piece of dramatic intensity ... told with a simple unpretentious poetic power ... utterly compelling Irish Mail on Sunday
Alan Gilsenans ethereal direction is pitch-perfect Metro
the three actors are unremittingly riveting ... superb production Irish Independent
absolutely glorious ... sensational ... superb RTÉ, Arena
Set in a God-fearing, pre-industrial rural community, a young woman comes to terms with an ancient hatred, an unexpected betrayal, and a growing awareness of her place in the world.
With a sensational cast Lorcan Cranitch, Vincent Regan and Catherine Walker and an award-winning creative team film and theatre director Alan Gilsenan, Tony-nominated designer Joe Van?k and lighting designer Sinéad Wallace Knives in Hens must finish 28th November.
Experience this fierce love story, underscored by live music from Eleanor Dawson, in the extraordinary space that housed Dublins first theatre in 1662 the Smock Alley Theatre in Temple Bar.
