A stage play about a group of tenants left to deal with a maggot infestation, exploring loneliness, systemic failure and what it means to build community. Premiered at The Bush Theatre, London, in 2026.
'She scrubs desperately. Fervently. Furiously. The filth is in the walls and she can feel it in her bones and under her skin.'As the stench in their building intensifies and infestations spread, a group of lonely tenants starts to ask questions. The housing association will barely lift a finger and pest control 'don't deal with maggots', so the neighbours are left to grapple with their suspicions and fears alone – blurring the boundaries of their usually private lives in the process. Farah Najib's play Maggots explores loneliness, systemic failure and what it means to build community. It was first performed in this version at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jess Barton and produced by Jessie Anand Productions.
