Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead really is a theatre experience like no other. This spine chilling tale was beautifully told at the Nottingham Playhouse, focusing on the life of Janina, played by Amanda Hardingue for this performance.
The role is shared between Amanda Hardingue and Kathryn Hunter, known for her appearances as Arabella Figg in the Harry Potter film series, due to the demand of the character. The audience is transported to a remote small community based on the Polish mountainside where men from the local hunting club begin to mysteriously die.
Janina is convinced that the animals are fighting back against the men’s cruelty after witnessing the creature's strange behaviour, but gains the reputation of being the local mad woman. The entire performance was captivating throughout, but is not for the faint of heart as there were many sudden noises, flashes of lights and screams to add to the hair-raising tale.
