SYNOPSIS

In 1555 rural England, a mute young woman from an isolated community is thrust into a violent and vicious psychological battle with its leader when she pursues a relationship with an outsider.

OVERVIEW/THEMES

- The Saltmarshes of Lincolnshire. 1555.

An isolated group of salt famers arrange illegal passage to Europe for an Egyptian family in hiding. But a love affair between Patience, a mute English girl, and Rumi the son of the Egyptians, threatens to destroy both communities.

‘Lapwing’ is a visceral, brutal window into the life of a young woman forced to live on the fringes of society, shunned for her stutter, and under constant threat from the violent and abusive patriarchal leader of her isolated community. Part psychological thriller, part love story, Lapwing sets the contemporary and modern themes of immigration, otherness and the female voice in a dangerous world where violence, superstition and vengeance reign supreme.
