This celebration of the deeply unusual character of our daily lives becomes a visual feast; food for the eyes, the mind, the heart and soul.
“The law, Noel. Without it, all of us are animals in the jungle. Killing and eating and riding whatever we think we can get away with.”
Prepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. Unstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle — writ large and set loose on the national stage. ANIMALS is a riotous and kaleidoscopic world-premiere commissioned by the Abbey Theatre and based on the critically acclaimed short fiction of award-winning Irish writer Blindboyboatclub, adapted by Dan Colley. The bizarreness of life is unmasked in this roaring and roaming new work that wonders aloud if the rowdy kids down the back of class might have been onto something all along.
