The play is set in a future English countryside that is not producing, and an authoritarian government sets a quota for every farm. If not met, the farm will be taken from its owners and given to the neighboring farm that meets its quota. The play focuses on a failing farm being visited by a foxfinder who has the power to make that decision. It premiered at the Finsborough Theatre in 2011 and premiered in the West End in 2018. It won the 2011 Papatango New Writing Prize and the inaugural Royal National Theatre Foundation (RNTF) Playwright award.
