Claiming to be the descendant of a beast of Shetland legend - a wolf-headed faerie called the Wulver - Fenton Talbot tells the story of the wolf inside drawing him away from civilization ... and, frustratingly, back to it. In this solo show, his calculated confession (or perhaps his psychotic break) is a seriocomic fantasia of academic and romantic failure, mythology, and the ever present tension between nature and civilization, revolt and communion, the self and the pack.
