Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead(2023)

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a theatre adaptation of Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk's provocative novel, directed by Simon McBurney. The source material blends thriller, dark comedy, and poetic manifesto, exploring animal rights and environmental destruction through a violent, genre-defying narrative. Tokarczuk's work sparked controversy in Poland upon its release, challenging readers with its unflinching stance on humanity's relationship with nature. McBurney's stage interpretation captures the novel's raw intensity and philosophical urgency, translating its complex themes into a visceral theatrical experience that questions our moral obligations to the natural world.
