Description

"I was impressed how the theatre handled such complex and difficult material, and allowed the dark humour of the piece to shine through ... this definitely isn’t a play for the easily outraged, but I’d recommend it if you’re bored of safe choices, and I applaud The People’s for choosing to stage it" - Prodigal Geordie

“I thought I was; I thought we were all … animals”

Celebrated architect Martin lives a seemingly perfect life with his wife and their teenage son. But Martin is keeping an unimaginable secret, and when all is revealed the family’s life is plunged into chaos.

Love and morality collide in this Tony Award-winning modern classic. Edward Albee (Who’s Afraid of Viginia Woolf?) shatters boundaries with its biting wit, devastating honesty, and shocking revelations.

Explore the limits of tolerance and desire in this provocative, tragic, and hilarious drama.
