March 19: Knives in Hens by David Harrower. Directed by Brenda DeVita.

A young woman tied to a man in a hardscrabble life. Until she's struck by a metaphor - or maybe the idea of metaphor - which sends her on a path to self-discovery. This path takes some turns, some beautiful and some ominous. But it's her increasing fascination with words that gives her power over her own story. A vital exploration of language, and its ability to release us from our tethers. (Contains adult themes).
