Apex Predator
In a world filled with predators, what's the next evolutionary step? Who hunts the hunters? Enter the Apex Predator.
Award-winning comedian Elizabeth Davie explores every woman’s fantasy of having nothing to fear in a dark alley, or just going to the shops for some milk.
Brutally funny and joyfully dark, Apex Predator plays with danger, vulnerability and power using physical comedy, stand up and clowning.
