Corpse Flower at Waterloo East Theatre

Edinburgh 2024 Preview

The Threepenny Collective presents ‘ Corpse Flower’, a darkly comedic stylised world, where young factory worker Millie confronts unsettling truths as her home town becomes overrun by scheming insect impostors.

A visually innovative tale unfolds as she uncovers a web of schemes, culminating in an eerie journey to save her family. Mystery and symbolic exploration blend in this horror-play, which draws from expressionist cinema and Kafkaesque nightmares to present an immersive experience for adult audiences. With themes of societal decay and personal redemption.

Corpse Flower offers a riveting exploration of the uncanny, inviting you to embrace its twisted allure.
