Grasses of a Thousand Colours

By Wallace Shawn

Dogs eat dogs. Cats play with mice. Grasses of a Thousand Colours is a semi-mythological examination of nature, animals, men, and women. Strange dinners, strange parties - sources of death and life.

'richly textured, original and wickedly amusing... Wallace Shawn is an underappreciated master among contemporary dramatists' London Evening Standard

'How to describe Wallace Shawn's extraordinary new play? A dystopian fairytale? A pseudo-pornographic parable? A modern morality play? It is all these and more' Guardian
