Description
From the author of the hugely successful stage play/film Beautiful Thing Hushabye Mountain reveals a world that has learned to live with AIDS. It is full of love, pain, laughs and friendship, where drugs in their various combinations are exhilarating, destructive, costly and even life restoring. Hushabye Mountain premiered at the Lyceum Theatre, Crewe, in February 1999, in a production with English Touring Theatre. "You would have to have a heart hewn from granite not to respond warmly to Jonathan Harvey's latest play" (Guardian)
