Carl Grose: Plays One
Bringing together five plays exploring our notions of family, myth, death, truth and the ever-fluctuating nature of reality, Carl Grose: Plays One celebrates the possibilities of theatre and humanity’s desperate need to tell stories in order to survive.
This collection includes Grose’s blood-splattered love letter to the theatre, Grand Guignol, plus a quartet of anarchic Cornish-set comedies: Superstition Mountain, Horse Piss For Blood, 49 Donkeys Hanged and The Kneebone Cadillac.
Carl Grose has written for the RSC, the National Theatre, Told by an Idiot, Soho Theatre, Spymonkey, Gyre and Gimble, and The Drum Theatre, Plymouth. He recently wrote Bristol Old Vic’s West End musical hit The Grinning Man. He also works with the internationally acclaimed theatre company Kneehigh. Writing for Kneehigh includes Tristan & Yseult and The Bacchae (with Anna Murphy), Hansel & Gretel, The Wild Bride, The Tin Drum and Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs). In 2019, he became co-artistic director of Kneehigh.
