I've yet to see Fram but am planning a trip before the run is over next week. What to say about cannibalism, except that it is generally perceived to be the lowest moral act a mortal can undertake. I'm not sure what its resonace as a contemporary metaphor would be, but the 28 Days Later film series comes to mind and a sense of deep cultural foreboding... Thanks for the clarification Stephe.

But since then there's also been The Cows Come Home, which certainly has shades of a community (though not necessarily a human one) consuming the flesh of its own dead, with predictaby nasty consequences. Maybe it's just the plays I go to see, but I'm beginning to suspect a developing theme ... Well, I was mostly thinking of Fram, which involves all sorts of interesting eating practices.

I only wish I'd discovered this site earlier! I was intrigued by your opening remark:"Cannibalism, it seems, is very chic this spring".
