Neeve can’t stop texting her ex. Her boyfriend Felix is busy trying to curate the perfect dinner party, but it feels more like a hostage situation. As the couple’s fucked-up friends arrive, they surrender their phones for a night of ‘real, analogue connection’. But something is festering beneath the polite social veneer, ready to erupt into chaos at any moment... The Hero Leaves One Tooth is a ferocious new satire set in a world where women have developed vagina dentata as a means of protection against sexual assault.
Featuring original songs by Jake Nielsen, this new play by Erica J. Brennan has an axe to grind with a culture of sexual violence at a time when bodily autonomy is under more scrutiny than ever.
