“A superstitious swineherd attempts to seduce a virgin queen by entering a competition to win her hand and fortune. Even before he is able to compete, she finds him wanting and has him beheaded. While echoes of Turandot and Salome haunt the piece, Harbison’s Full Moon in March – his 1977 adaptation of WB Yeats’ play of the same name – is an uncanny and energetic exploration all it’s own.”
