Description

“I went to town the other day, I was feeling kind of homesick and I saw a shop I thought might belong to an Indian family but it didn’t - two French ladies owned it. They were selling all these murtis, like devotional statues. And they didn’t know what they were. They were selling them - but they didn’t know what they were.”

Agatha is a reiki practitioner from Fulham with a love of all things kimchi, tempeh, and tabbouleh. When Anvi, a student from India, is invited to work on her husband Ben’s latest anthropology book, Agatha’s love of all things ‘exotic’ is tested, while Ben’s fascination with Asian culture climaxes. A dirty play about clean and healthy eating, That Will Stain the Marble explores how our history of theft and consumption has left us still greedy for more.
