Only wolves and lions eat alone, you should not eat, not even a snack, on your own.
[Epicurus]
Created as a response to the experience of isolation and social fragmentation in a world of infinite virtual connections, Only Wolves and Lions is a rebellion against ready-meals and lunch deals and an active experiment in community, action and the pursuit of happiness.
Subverting the conventions of the theatre and the everyday, Unfinished Business host a communal meal with radical trimmings; an evening of simple pleasures that remind us of the things we forgot to make time for.
From a ruined hotel on the Greek coast, a gastronomic society in the Basque Country, to an old chapel by the side of the road in Manchester, Only Wolves and Lions has found a home in some inspiring places.
Driven by a desire to counter the increasing fragmentation of our culture, Unfinished Business created Only Wolves and Lions through a continuing process of composition, performance, improvisation and analysis. It is the most participatory performance the company has created thus far, offering a truly unique experience for each new audience.

"A strangely radical act, Only Wolves and Lions is a beautiful, generous, heart-swelling experience. The warmth generated by these collective activities is quietly extraordinary."
