Liz Lochhead: Five Plays

Liz Lochhead, currently the National Poet of Scotland and one of that country's best-known living playwrights, wrote her first play, Blood and Ice, in 1982. Since then there has been a steady stream of highly inventive original plays, adaptations and translations, all crafted with Lochhead's special language, a blend of the intensely colloquial and the energetically poetic. Her other plays include Dracula, Educating Agnes, Misery Guts, Thebans and Medea. She lives in Glasgow.
