THE SHOW

Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, Chris Cantrill (SNL UK, Icklewick FM) returns with a new show about community, vengeance and custard.

The critically-acclaimed Rewilding tells the story of a rural borderlands community, an act of vandalism and the outsider who’s determined to make it all about him.

Having embraced village life, Chris is happy to see out his days whittling, signing for packages and glaring at passing hikers. But when a beloved local tree is cut down in the dead of night, he’s drawn into a mystery that reveals a far darker side to his idyllic surroundings …

Rewilding is a show for people who are passionate about community and keeping a very close eye on their neighbours. 

Directed by Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated Tom Parry.
