Wax presents a series of meetings between Haigh and the young woman sent to take his likeness, Anna Gifford. Across five meetings, the simple process of representation becomes a tense game of psychological manipulation, as a serial killer attempts to control not only how he is portrayed, but how posterity will remember him ... Wax is a new play about one of Britain's most notorious killers. It's a dark, tense drama about how murderers are made, and how they attempt to remake the world around them.
