New Writing, Dark Comedy
Nesting
A father dreams of dying. A daughter dreams of living. A seagull dreams of being human. Francis is caged in his home by devotion, duty and a devastating diagnosis. A seagull offers an escape: it will nest inside his body, take control and free his pregnant daughter from the burden of his care. But what begins as selfless sacrifice risks becoming violent surrender. An absurd, darkly comic new play with an electrifying score, Nesting is a visceral exploration of love, death and duty from Trolley Problem, following their sold-out production of Mistero Buffo at the Citizens Theatre.
