Long considered to be a legend of Fringe theatre, Snoo Wilson's early plays had such absurd titles as Girl Mad as Pigs and Ella Daybellfesse's Machine
All of Wilson's plays search out strange psychological states in his characters and situations ...
Blowjob is a dark study in alienation and violence; in Pigsnight a Lincolnshire farm is taken by a sinister gang and turned into a machine for the organised butchering of animals
The Soul of the White Ant explores the weird world of the South African naturalist Eugene Marais whose ideas about a corporate soul lead to insanity
The volume also includes two plays with a Freudian perspective - More Light and Darwin's Flood. There's also an introduction by the author and notes by his various collaborators
