"Sam is struggling. Being a human has never been simple for him. He just feels like a different kind of creature. Sam’s family don’t understand. But then they barely understand themselves. Now, trapped in a stuffy inpatient clinic undergoing family therapy, they must find new ways to communicate with each other so that, one way or another, Sam can be released from captivity.
The world premiere of Ruby Thomas' The Animal Kingdom, directed by Lucy Morrison, is an observation of family dynamics told with wit and compassion."
I couldn't find a thread for this, which has been running for several weeks, has had great reviews and has now had its run extended until 2 April.
The extended run could be partly due to the cancellation of a later production but that has now been replaced by another and in any case, this play really deserves the extra time. I saw it on Thursday and it was fantastic: engaging, annoying, sad, hilarious and absolutely riveting throughout. It is intense at times, runs straight through for 85 minutes and felt perfectly judged. Exactly the sort of work I always hope to see and felt fortunate to find.
