“Wild flesh – an old wives’ tale. If somebody gets a hair stuck in their throat, flesh will grow around the root of the hair.  Flesh which isn’t human.  And it’ll grow so big that it’ll choke them.”

The play is set in Skopje immediately before the Second World War and follows the fates of three brothers: one a disillusioned, alcoholic waiter; the second an ambitious employee of a German company; and the third a communist activist. It centres around the proposed demolition of their family home to make way for the expansion of the German company’s showroom and focuses on the clash between Western and Eastern European values. Wild Flesh was written in 1979 and is Stefanovski’s most performed play.
