The Cave [Mervyn Peake]

"You want to kill her because she is not afraid'?"

"In one cave, thousands of years of history are played out. A history marked by conformity and the persecution of anyone who dares to speak out. One family struggles to live their day-to-day lives. Then one day a young girl enters the cave and throws their belief system into question.

This unsettling and powerful play by Mervyn Peake - author of Gormenghast - is a dark, inquisitive look at the nature of authority and its effect on the human condition."

Written by the late English writer, poet and artist Mervyn Peake.
