Mysterious Skin

The Mysterious Production Of Eggs is a 2005 recording by man Andrew Bird. This was released on Ani DiFranco's label Righteous Babe Records.

Six people bound together by a traumatic experience decide to round off a year of group therapy in style. They join each other once more, traveling up to the Scottish Lowlands for a reunion weekend in a 1970s holiday let. Soon a number of mysterious and horrifying events start to expose the cracks in their relationships, and one by one they discover that trust runs but skin-deep. A night of closure turns out to be far more final than they could have anticipated.

The story of the son of a coach-maker with a highly developed sense of the macabre, who ended up rivalling Shakespeare. John Webster's life was shadowy, and his plays darkly imagined - it was once said that he 'saw the skull beneath the skin'. But his masterpiece The Duchess of Malfi is one of the jewels of the English Renaissance.
