The Exterminator
The Exterminator
A Tenant's life is uprooted when a Squatter boldly declares her living space
as his own, exploring colonisation, occupation and displacement through a
microcosm of Britain. Playwright Kara Hardie explores this allegory
through themes of power and resilience against the backdrop of historical
and contemporary conflicts. Drawing from her connection to the 1974
invasion of Cyprus, the play engages viewers through dark comedy, audience
interaction, physical theatre and shadow work. The Exterminator transforms
the stage into a symbolic battlefield for space and power to encourage
audiences to reflect on ownership and the cyclical nature of injustice.
