What's On

Livestock is a provocative new theatre production blending satire, humour, and emotional storytelling, the play explores toxic masculinity, identity, belonging, and the hidden cost of treating people as commodities.

​

The story follows a 16-year-old footballer from Northern England who signs a professional contract with a Premier League club and moves to London to live with a host family. As he enters the high-pressure world of elite football, where bodies are valued, judged, and traded, he begins to question the culture around him.

​

Living with his host mother and her daughter exposes him to perspectives that challenge the hyper-masculine environment he has been taught to navigate. Through these relationships, he begins to discover empathy, vulnerability, and solidarity in a world that often rewards the opposite.
