Summary

We’re their food source and we’re heading towards extinction.

Mia is going out of her mind. Her baby won’t feed; Alfie is being bullied at school; Joe is working long night shifts at a job he won’t talk about. The upstairs neighbour keeps blasting music at 2 a.m. Another mutilated body has been found floating in the Thames.

Then Mia meets Ana, Alfie’s art teacher, who proposes an unconventional route to empowerment.

Apex Predator opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in March 2025.
