The Mark of the Beast looks at early experiences of being drunk; family parties; teenage socialising and over indulgence through sound, spoken word and dark humour. Following Martin's research in Islay about the temperance movement, the piece takes inspiration from the Book of Revelation and questions the role that alcohol plays in society.
