Bite the Hand
El LЋon Literary Arts
Gavan Daws
Gavan Daws' compellingly innovative
first play is a heady mix of language
and movement: a verbal and physical
comedy of control capsizing, with
interspecies pratfalls, and at the
same time an active meditation on
nature and science, freedom and
subjection.
Review: "Brilliant, searching, original, and lit by a coruscating wit. Bite the Hand is a work of startling invention and revelation."
-W.S. Merwin, author of The Folding Cliffs
"Fresh, funny, intelligent, allusive and beyond Stoppard in being enacted within a breathing and buoyant metaphor."
-Paul Theroux, author of Dark Star Safari: Overland From Cairo to Cape Town
"Bite the Hand is an innovative, important drama that raises searching questions about the relationships between humans and animals."
-Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation Bite the Hand surpasses the legendary contributions made by George Bernard Shaw to humanity's concern for our fellow creatures. My advice to anyone still opposed to animal rights is two fold: First, if you happen to have the script in your possession, burn it. Second, if you happen to have tickets to the play, don't go. Bite the Hand will change your life.
-Tom Regan, author of Empty Cages: The Future of Animal Rights
