About this Event

Wild flesh – an old wives’ tale. If somebody gets a hair stuck in their throat, flesh will grow around the root of the hair. Flesh which isn't human. And it'll grow so big that it'll choke them.”

The play centres around the proposed demolition of their family home to make way for the expansion of the German company’s showroom and focuses on the clash between Western and Eastern European values. Written in 1979, Wild Flesh is Stefanovski’s most performed play.
