Final-year BA (Hons) Acting students from University for the Creative Arts (UCA) present The Hunt based on the film Jagten by Thomas Vinterberg and Tobias Lindholm, adapted for the stage by David Farr, the second in a season of contemporary plays running throughout 2025 – 2026.
“We are a small community. The happiness of our children is everything. Our hopes and dreams rest in these tiny souls."
In a small town in northern Denmark, the children celebrate Harvest Festival. In the forest by the water members of the lodge stand in the cold. This is their country. This is their song. In the shadows, a lonely child gives a strange man her heart.
The hunt begins.
