Following the smash-hit we were promised honey! YESYESNONO are back with another storytelling hit from the Edinburgh Fringe 2024.

It’s about a butcher and a baker and a farmer and a dog.  

It’s about a stranger knocking at the door.

It’s about a perfect town where something very bad has just happened.

And you were all there to see. 

Written and performed by Sam Ward, Nation is a dark, brutal fable about the political power of stories, about the nation as an act of imagination, about the violence of community and those we choose to let in.

‘Ward’s performance—and by extension his writing, too—is so compelling, so arresting, that you’re with him and nearly on the edge of your seat until the very end’ Playbill
