NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTLAND & VANISHING POINT IN ASSOCIATION WITH CITIZENS THEATRE
The story is taken from the wonderfully twisted imagination of cult Czech film maker Jan Svankmajer, and combines dark humour, surreal horror and an unnerving but tender family story.
A couple, desperate for but unable to start a family, develop an intense relationship with a tree stump carved to look like a baby. Believing it to be real, their obsession gradually brings the lump of wood to life. As the fixation grows, so does the ‘baby’ along with its monstrous appetite. Not content with baby food, it eats the family cat and then the postman. Things get stranger still when the social worker arrives to see what’s going on.
