There are three rules every good housewife knows: Never return a dish empty, Always have dinner ready by the time he gets home, and Some Things are best kept under the table. After all, you never know who might be listening…

With double entendre, tightly choreographed physical theatre, and a soundtrack packed from Vaudeville to Rap, What If They Ate The Baby? repeatedly explores the same menial conversation between neighbours in the context of surveillance, cannibalism, and queerness, all during an idealised period in American history that was marked by paranoia.

What If They Ate The Baby? was created by NYC based duo Xhloe and Natasha in a political response to the changing laws surrounding reproductive rights in America, placing the audience right in the middle of the action. Absent husbands? Missing children? All questions are uncovered in this witty, absurd and wild interpretation of 1950s America.
