Falcon And The Hawk, The

In her new play, falconer and poet Helen Macdonald intertwines her life with that of J.A. Baker, the author of The Peregrine, a profound nature writing classic. As Baker observes the wild peregrines of the Essex coast, Helen trains her goshawk, Mabel, in the intimate setting of her home. Their parallel journeys blur the lines between the wild and the domestic, offering a captivating glimpse into the bond between humans and birds of prey. Featuring performances by David Birrell as J. A. Baker and Gemma Lawrence as Young Helen, with portions recorded on location at The Bird of Prey Centre in Newent, Gloucestershire.
