Horse Piss for Blood
Cornish conspiracy theorist Virgil Ploy is paranoid. He thinks that everyone is out to get him – that includes his mother and her new husband, Dusty. He might well be right. It’s hard to know who to trust these days. But then, living on top of a secret M.O.D. chemical weapons plant can do strange things to you. Very strange things indeed… Horse Piss For Blood is a bizarre and darkly funny new play about family, madness and Cornwall’s darkest secret… Are you ready for the truth?
