| Description |
Set in the 1730's in London, "Strretwalker" is based on William Hogarth's "The Harlot's Progress". Mary Hackabout, a rural innocent arrives in London. Her hopes and expectations are shattered as she falls into the clutches of Mother Midnight, the brothel keeper. Throughout the piece, Mary's downward progress is watched by a Sparrowhawk - a bird of prey, which unlike Mary, obeys the rule of nature: Kill or be Killed |
