As the stench in their building intensifies and infestations spread, a lonely group of tenants starts to ask questions. But when the housing association barely lifts a finger in support and pest control "don't deal with maggots", the neighbours are left to grapple with their suspicions and fears alone – blurring the boundaries of their usually private lives in the process. Through shared storytelling, Maggots explores loneliness, systemic failure, and what it means to build community – questioning what we owe our neighbours and what it costs to look away. Written by Tony Craze Award winner Farah Najib and directed by Jess Barton, produced by Jessie Anand Productions.
