Anima has plunged into a spiral of self-destruction and is lying on the floor in the “throes of a massive emotional calamity” when her new flatmate comes barrelling in. Christa is perky and self-absorbed, wracked with insecurities. Yet thanks to a set of slightly surreal circumstances, an intense, disturbing friendship quickly ensues under the watchful gaze of a malevolent statue and a dying houseplant.

Scab was first performed at the Women’s Expressive Theatre in New York City twenty years ago.

Tickets: 16,- / 12,- erm.
