About the show

Tens of thousands of years ago, Britain’s earliest inhabitants learn that love and violence feed the same fire. When strangers arrive at a secluded cave, domestic harmony shatters – and survival turns savage. Jack Nicholls’ debut play drags us back to the beginnings of who we are, in a world premiere co-directed by Royal Court Resident Director Aneesha Srinivasan and Artistic Director David Byrne.
