Badgers

Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with Bristol Old Vic • Professional company

70 minutes•Traverse 2
Something has taken root in this town. A recluse, a disappearance, a mysterious folk song. And then there's you, Meles – a podcaster with a dying mother and a stalling career – about to stumble into something unfathomable. Something that could change everything. But is it your story to tell? A folk tale about folk tales, the art of letting go and the ethics of true crime, Badgers is a shape-shifting, mercurial new show from the team behind Outlier. Written by Malaika Kegode with music by Jakabol: 'Tremendous poetic drama' **** (Guardian). 'Exuberant, convivial energy' **** (Stage).
