Pastoral

‘A splendid piece.’ ★★★★ Times

‘Funny and engaging.’ ★★★★ Metro

‘Full of bleak poetry and hilarious stage action.’ ★★★★ Independent

“They first noticed it a few weeks ago, creeping round the war memorial and through the crack outside Subway. Just little weeds at first, little sprouts. Herbs and reeds and wild mushrooms. It’s amazing how quickly they’re growing.”

Moll thinks she’s going on holiday but something more sinister is afoot. As menacing cats and strutting voles advance, a dangerously fertile countryside just keeps on growing – humanity is on the brink.

A darkly funny, powerful and highly original first play by Thomas Eccleshare, the winner of the Verity Bargate Award, starring Anna Calder-Marshall (In The Republic of Happiness, Royal Court Theatre; Salt, Root & Rose, Trafalgar Studios; The House of Bernarda Alba, The Royal Exchange).

The Verity Bargate Award is Soho Theatre’s national competition for the best new play by an emerging writer.

Directed by Soho Theatre Artistic Director Steve Marmion.
