"Peeling" was commissioned by Graeae Theatre Company and premiered at The Door, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, in February 2002. Alpha, Beaty and Coral - three actresses in ridiculous dresses - bicker, chat, heckle and share tales of sex, lies and recipes in absurd isolation as an epic production unfolds around, and inspite of them. Gradually their devastating truths are uncovered, leaving them stripped of all pretence in Kaite O'Reilly's darkly comic play on women, war and the things we hide.

<p>The first of its kind: a collection of dramas informed by a political and cultural disability perspective that redefines the notion of "normalcy" and extends the range of what it is to be human. From monologues to performance texts to realist plays, these involving and subversive pieces explore disability as a portal to new experience.</p>

<p>In her version of Europe's oldest dramatic poem, a requiem to a nation's dead in a reckless, fruitless war, Kaite O'Reilly chooses the iambic drumbeat of English blank verse, and a long-lined lyricism that befits an epic lament. The language is modern, the word-music timeless, the rhythms ring with echoes of Elizabethan drama. In this powerful translation, the three voices of the Chorus tell the tragic story in a breathless song of mourning that insists on being heard.</p>
