London, 1951: In an attempt to solve the world’s energy crisis, scientists engineer the Triffids: a biofuel crop that is highly efficient, strangely sentient, and disturbingly carnivorous.

​

When a freak cosmic event blinds most of the world’s population, one man wakes into a collapsing society where fear, opportunism, and chaos reign. As humans struggle to survive, an unexpected predator rises. Free from observation, the Triffids begin their ascent.

​

The beast is loose.

 

Adapted from John Wyndham’s iconic catastrophe novel, The Day of the Triffids erupts into vivid, immersive reality in this bold new theatrical experience by Jay James-Moody.
