‘There were three people in my marriage… Three people and twelve legs.'

Professor George Grey is world-renowned for her pioneering research into octopus intelligence. Recently bereaved, her closest relationship these days is with her research subject: Frances, who resides in a large, purpose-built tank in George’s campus accommodation.

But when ambitious anthropologist Harry enters her life, his breathtaking new theory threatens to tear her world apart in more ways than one…A play for two actors – and one octopus – Octopolis is a fascinating and funny exploration of love, grief and what makes us human. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in September 2023, directed by Ed Madden.

Marek Horn’s other plays include Yellowfin and Wild Swimming.
