Hijinx's Autumn tour of GULLIVER by Kit Lambert, directed by Louise Osborn with music by James Williams

National Tour of Wales & England from Tuesday 29th Sep - Sat 12th Dec
In a unique and delightful style, Hijinx brings to life the weird and wonderful world of Gulliver's Travels, with its tiny Lilliputians, giants, mad scientists and even talking horses! Inspired by Jonathan Swift's fantastical satire, this biting new play explores the relationship between the mysterious Dr Gulliver and his tormented creator Swift, as they travel through the writer's unruly imagination and try not to lose their way.

It is a journey that threatens to carry Swift away from the woman who loves him, as he finds himself hurtled towards either madness or redemption.

Capturing the humour and darkness of a man struggling to survive in an absurd world, this classic story is as fresh and relevant as ever!

Am looking forward to it. It sounds like a really interesting take on the story. Swift is such an extraordinary character!
