Following smash-hit we were promised honey! YESYESNONO return to Exeter Phoenix with another storytelling hit from the Edinburgh Fringe 2024.

It’s about a butcher and a baker and a farmer and a dog.

It’s about a stranger knocking at the door.

It’s about a perfect town where something very bad has just happened.

And you were all there to see.

Written and performed by Sam Ward, Nation is a dark, brutal fable about the political power of stories, about the nation as an act of imagination, about the violence of community and those we choose to let in.
