Bite the Hand

Drama. Set in a marine research lab, two dolphins (played by dancers) and their scientist keepers mix language and movement to create a drama that is "enacted within a breathing and buoyant metaphor" -Paul Theroux. Daws compellingly innovative first play reveals itself as alternately a verbal and physical comedy of control capsizing, and an active mediation on nature and science. "Brilliant, searching, original, and lit by a coruscating wit, BITE THE HAND is a work of startling invention and revelation" -W.S. Merwin. Daws has written eleven books and won several international awards for his documentary films. He currently lives in Honolulu where he is developing a musical theatre project.Daws, Gavan is the author of 'Bite the Hand' with ISBN 9780887395369 and ISBN 0887395368.
