The Play Of Kes

by Barry Hines and Allen Stronach

Published 27 April 1993

A moving yet straightforward dramatisation of Barry Hines's popular novel, Kes, the story of how fifteen-year-old Billy Casper trains a kestrel.

It is not the training of the young hawk that is important but the admiration and affection it inspires in Billy, feelings which neither his school nor his family offer.
