GRIEF IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS | Interview with Toby Schmitz
GRIEF IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS | The literary sensation - now a profound new play: https://bit.ly/Feathers-25
Two young boys fall back on their imaginations as they grapple with their mother’s sudden death. Their father has the soul of a poet but can only see a future of platitudes and loneliness. In the sadness, like a gothic Mary Poppins, comes Crow – trickster, babysitter, provocateur and healer. Did this odd bird come to a grieving family because they needed him? Or is he something they made?
Max Porter’s exquisite verse novel has been a literary sensation, garnering an ardent tribe of devotees. Now, in the expert hands of Simon Phillips, comes a fresh stage version full of theatricality and insight.
