Hogs Hairs and Leeches is eight small discrete plays which, combined, talk about
growing old, regrets, memory, fears and beliefs. It examines many relationships:
between mothers, grandmothers and daughters, between women who dance
together at their local elderly citizens club, between grandparents and grandchildren
who can no longer speak one another's language, between men who fought for good
working conditions and young men who would work for nothing. It brings together the
old and the young in poignant and powerful drama.
