"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them.
Women are afraid that men will kill them."

The story follows Jack from the age of 9 into her 30s, detailing her journey through misogyny, puberty & the terrifying realities women face on a daily basis. Jack is all of us; a victim, a phoenix, a superhero. MEAT is an electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest & a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism & heart.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
