‘Men are afraid that women will laugh at them.
Women are afraid that men will kill them.’
MARGARET ATWOOD

MEAT is an electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest and a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism & heart. A playful and poignant exploration of identity written by published poet, and multi-award winner Elle Dillon-Reams, ‘Best Newcomer’ The Scotsman.

‘Memories demand attention, because memories have teeth’
VIOLA DAVIS

A dirty dive into the foundations of power and misogyny, an injection of a new narrative, MEAT is a theatrical hybrid of poetry, clowning, cabaret and dance featuring original music.

★★★★★ “Brilliantly executed. Tears up the rulebook.
MEAT is perfectly disobedient.”
THE SCOTSMAN

★★★★★ “A tour-de-force performance fusing spoken word and physical theatre. Not only has she mastered both forms, she fuses them into something new, something greater.”
THREE WEEKS

★★★★★ “MEAT is the best thing at this year’s fringe. If I could give it more than five stars I would.”
