Watch the creation of civilisation turn from naivety, confusion and survival into gluttony, arrogance and consumerism, in Clout Theatre’s absurd and surreal production of FEAST. When it begins with an almost bare stage, blanketed in mud, three barely clothed actors, and a pile of cornflakes falling from the ceiling, it seems remarkable that this is merely the start of this mind boggling creation. The acting trio of Jennifer Swingler, Sacha Plaige and George Ramsay impress with a variety of performance styles, and leave the onlooker shocked, surprised and disturbingly, pleased, as these entrancing performers’ interpretation of humanity’s truly ridiculous relationship with food grows in its absurdities at an alarming rate.

Zoo, until 31 Aug.
