"Seventeen years after the nuclear holocaust, a group of survivors, cans of food and a stranger. The stranger is warmly welcomed into their midst, but one of the one of the group drops dead, it is assumed he was contaminated. As the deaths multiply, the group leader determines that this intruder must be hunted down and killed. Edward Bond’s powerful poetry comes alive in edgy, darkly comic theatre that confronts the most pressing issues of our age. ‘If you can’t face Hiroshima in the theatre, you’ll eventually end up in Hiroshima itself’ (Edward Bond)."
