Wolf Lullaby
by Hilary Bell

Is there intrinsic evil in the world?

In a bleak, remote town, a small child is murdered.

Suspicion falls on nine-year-old Lizzie.

Convinced her daughter is guilty, Lizzie's young mother must make the torturous choice between ignoring her intuition and presenting Lizzie to the police.

Lizzie is not the only one who is changed forever by the act.

The adults around her, bewildered and full of denial, find their accepted beliefs crumbling around them in a play which explores the sources of violence and its legacy.

Winner of the 1998 Jill Blewett Playwright's Award.
