Podcast : The Feast Of The Ants

ThreeWeeks spends time with Japan's Mugensha Theatre Company to find out more about their black comedy show 'The Feast Of The Ants'

Presented by the Mugensha Theatre Company from Japan, 'The Feast Of The Ants' is a black comedy set in the dystopia of Arizuka Town, where the factories are closed and the rain won’t stop falling. Intrigued? Well, we sat down with the play’s director, So-un Kotakebayashi, and lead actress, Shino Fujimoto, to find out more, and along the way chatted about climate change, Japanese culture and the endearing honesty of Scottish audiences.
