Synopsis

West Anglia. The new name for Wales. Three bumbling terrorists cling to their values as the modern world invades the land of their fathers. An archaeological discovery in the valleys leads to the scientific coup of the millennium. And in Sainsbury’s, a man who can’t even choose a pasta sauce struggles to choose the perfect life.

Set in a disturbing near-future that is all too plausible, Natural Selection is a searing new comedy about fighting for freedom and climbing the food chain.

By arrangement with Nick Hern Books
