About
The Wasp is a heart wrenching, dark, comedic thriller for anyone who survived secondary school and has the scars to prove it. Decades after their last encounter, Heather, successful and seemingly perfect, reconnects with Carla, who has nothing left to lose. What begins as a tentative reunion quickly spirals into something far more dangerous.
Moving Stories Theatre Company presents Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s Olivier Award winning masterpiece, a gripping exploration of how childhood trauma lingers and mutates over time. When Heather makes Carla a proposition she cannot afford to refuse, a ruthless game of revenge unfolds, forcing both women to confront the past they thought they had escaped.
