BADGERS

Something has taken root in this town.

A recluse, a disappearance, a mysterious folk song. And then there's you, Meles — a podcaster with a dying mother and a stalling career — about to stumble into something unfathomable. Something that could change everything. But is it your story to tell?

A folk tale about folk tales, the art of letting go, and the ethics of true crime, Badgers is a shape-shifting, mercurial new show from the team behind Outlier.

Written by Malaika Kegode with music by Jakabol.

A Theatre Royal Plymouth Production in association with Bristol Old Vic.

BADGERS will have its world premiere at Traverse Theatre as part of TravFest26.
