A dark, disturbing and amusing tale. Insecticide cleverly captures the obsessions that lurk just below the surface of the mundane as we visit a suburban house where a woman builds a model village for her beloved stick insects, all named after TV celebrities and popular cultural icons. Her failed quiz show host husband lives against this backdrop, his memory of their second honeymoon to Blackpool re-visited. During the intimate confessional quiz show, intimate details are revealed and light shed on the darkness and tragedy of their marriage. Using poetic staging, crisp dialogue and a soundtrack that ranges from easy listening to techno, Insecticide is a surreal domestic comedy and a thought provoking journey through the absurdity of everyday life.
