Badgers
by Malaika KegodeA supremely impressive and incredibly moving new play... A genuine standout of the Fringe
WhatsOnStage
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.
Developed on Complicité's Mudlarks International Residency.
