Middle Child announce site-specific show Biting Point

Asking how to be a good person in a world determined to incite anger, Middle Child will be touring to car parks across the north of England with a show centred around a road accident and the knock-on effects of it. John, a white British delivery driver, and Anita, a British South Asian property manager, have grown up in the same city with both similar and differing experiences and frustrations of keeping up with modern life. But when they collide at a roundabout in relentless rush-hour traffic, their frustrations and anger boil over, leading them to react in ways they didn’t think they ever would. Commissioned in 2023 prior to the 2024 riots, which affected Hull and several other towns and cities across the UK, Biting Point is a timely dissection that explores race, anger and how our experiences of the world and the heat of the moment can turn us into people we don’t want to be.
