One Flea Spare

One Flea Spare by Naomi Wallace
is an award-winning play set in plague-ravaged 17th Century London where social roles and their boundaries are thrown into chaos.

A wealthy couple is preparing to flee their home when a mysterious sailor and a young girl appear sneaking into their boarded up house. Now, quarantined together for 28 days, the only thing these strangers fear more than the plague is each other.

While the human heart craves comfort, contact and tenderness, definitions of morality are up for grabs, history is challenged and survival takes many forms in this dark, fiercely intense & humorous play.
