| Admin History | Written in 1992 by Nick Darke 'Hell's Mouth' is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia with Cornish Nationalists fighting for independence from England.
The production originated as part of a project by the Royal Shakespeare Company's Antigone's Project. It was one of six new plays based on 'The Thebans', the final play of Sophocles' Oedipus Trilogy.
Hell's Mouth was then later performed as a site-specific production by Kneehigh Theatre in 2000 in the clay pits near St Austell, involving members of the local community.
