THE KNACKER'S ABCby arrangement with Eric Glass Ltdwritten by Boris Viandirected by Morgan Dowsett15 FEB - 4 MAR 2006This "Paramilitary Vaudeville" takes place on June 6, 1944 during the landing of Anglo-America forces at Arromanches in Normandy. In the midst of WWII exploding outside their front door, the only worry of a father (the horse knacker), and his bizarre family, is deciding whether they should marry off their daughter to a German who has been sharing her bed for four years. "Nothing could be more serious than this farce which is not a farce and yet is one." "The play is above all a burlesque: it seemed to me that the best approach to war was to laugh at its expense."
