    About this ebook

    Moving from the biggest democracy on the planet to the newest, Bites takes us back to Afghanistan via Texas. In the last diner at the end of a world ravaged by war, a menu of love, death and revenge is served by the ‘hired help'. Seven courses make for a poetic feast of universal tales looking back to the forgotten war and forward to a nightmarish future.


    Produced at the Bush Theatre, London in January 2005 (Mama Quillo in association with The Bush).
