Gryfhead
Michael Kelligan continues his Deadlier Than The Male season of script-held performances of plays by female writers and directors with this remarkable story by Lucy Gough. Gryfhead is not only a highly imaginative and inventive piece of theatre but it’s also anexceptionally dark and humorous one. It takes its inspiration from a tale first told by Boccaccio and later by John Keats, in which an overprotective man deems thathis sister’s lover is not good enough for her, and murders him.
