The sighting of a rare bird attracts attention to a remote part of the Fens. The visiting birdwatchers cannot know what dangers lie in the freezing darkness of the marshes. In an isolated cabin, Wattmore, bruised and bleeding, is recording the Old Testament onto cassette. Griffin arrives with two bags of chips. Salvation is at hand - a cash prize for winning the university poetry competition and a possible lodger. Meanwhile, outside the town is stirring.

reviewed The Night Heron on January 27, 2013 The Night Heron
I read this because a friend who staged the play last November sent me a copy.
I don't read many scripts, but this one reminded me how much I can like it: we need to stage it ourselves in some way in our imagination, and I enjoyed that this time. And it's a pretty rich text, so it's nice to linger and reread and consider, in a way that's difficult when attending a production.
And, I sure wish I could see this on the stage too. The energy and absurdity of the fourth act made me miss seeing theater performed.
The gardening theme and recorded narrative really worked for me: borders and perennials and tender perennials; mulches and frosts; garden and greenhouse and gardener. Gardeners and strimmers.
Nice touch that Butterworth shared his name with his central character. I really want to read more from this guy.
One favorite line was actually a closing stage direction: "A shot rings out. The birds cry out. The tape continues." Solidarity and the endless unfolding of story.
