Home of the Wriggler

Stan’s Cafe

In a disused factory, away from the raging weather, a team of investigators unearth the legends of a city, the fragmented stories of the people who lived there, and the mythical things they made called cars.

Home of the Wriggler is a fresh take on documentary theatre. Combining research and speculation, the show unravels the threads of a thousand people’s stories to ask, who are the people who make the sandwiches, who cut the hair, who teach the kids, of those who shape the parts that make the cars that fill our roads.

Full of humour and with a haunting conclusion, Home of the Wriggler examines how our personal fates are entwined, for better or worse, with an industrial heritage, in a volatile global economy, on a warming planet.

Stan’s Cafe has been devising exciting and thought-provoking theatre since 1991. Their work, which is always fresh and
engaging, is in demand throughout the world.

All of the light and sound in this show is generated, by the cast live on stage, using a range of aging technologies.

“A Kaleidoscopic collage of impressionistic fragments which evoke the lives of generations touched by the manufacture and use of motor cars.”
