Based on Nobel Prize winning author Olga Tokarczuk’s novel of the same name, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a new work for theatre conceived and directed by Simon McBurney, with revival co-direction & original additional direction by Kirsty Housley. Tokarczuk’s controversial, violent, genre defying novel – part thriller, part comedy, and part blistering poetic manifesto for the rights of animals and the environment – caused an uproar in its native Poland upon publication.
