House of Correction

T01971910507
Duty, passion, conflict...and a dancing horse. A world war threatens. On a remote frontier stands a lonely castle with strange inhabitants. A bedridden poet and three women who may be his mistresses. Into this tense world rides a government messenger. His satchel contains the dispatch that might just spark the conflict. His mission is of the utmost urgency. Yet he is unable to leave. Only the obstinate old poet knows the truth But if he reveals it he ll suffer a cruel fate. Can the women save him? Will the messenger ever escape? And why does he have a dancing horse? Howard Barker s unnerving tale sets passion against duty amid the brinkmanship of war. Powerful poetic language, provocative ideas and rich dark humour build a compelling study of the strange longing for crisis that seethes away below the surface in us all.
