About Meat
Meat by James McDermott is a bold and thought-provoking historical drama that explores identity, desire, and sexuality in rural England. Set in Diss, Norfolk, the play tells the little-known true story of Robert Carleton, a 17th-century tailor and his secret relationship with his apprentice Jon Lincoln.
The story takes a dark turn when Jon’s fiancé, Mary, comes for dinner with the two tailors. Through powerful storytelling and poetic language. Meat reimagines Carleton’s experience with heart and humanity, challenging audiences to confront the past while reflecting on how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go.
Age advised 14+ due to adult content and storyline
