A storm is brewing in a quiet Northern Irish farmhouse…
One sister’s devout, the other’s a disaster. The 80s are in full swing and the past is clawing its way back – ugly, loud, alive.
From Northern Irish playwright Meghan Tyler, winner of the Channel 4 Playwrights’ Scheme, Crocodile Fever is a riotous black comedy that refuses to behave. Making its London premiere at Arcola Theatre, the play depicts sisterhood at full tilt: sharp-tongued and fuelled by Taytos, booze, and buried rage.
Critically acclaimed – “A release of feminist fury and anti-colonial rage” The Guardian – the play brings big laughs, bigger chaos and no clean endings.
