Uncanny adventure. A demolition site. Using lyrical language to explore lost homes, new storms and friendly cryptics. Reluctant Megacorp conservationist and single mum Ria (she/her) has been called in to sort a hive. It's halting work on a new housing development and messing up the bottom line. Plus it’s the worst possible timing because Ria's teenage kid Salve (they/them) was just suspended for unrepentant thievery following the loss of Nan; the third-pillar of their family. But when they arrive, cagey site manager Craig (he/him) hints at something more...unusual.
More sinister.
From the director of ‘Colossal’, Winner Best Show of the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, comes HIVE, a queer, magical, sci-fi adventure exploring family, shared memory and the meaning of home after loss.
Originally commissioned by The Space, London for early 2023.
Hive will be playing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on the 2 – 15 August, 16.35, at the Assembly Roxy Downstairs.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
