This is a brand new, adventurous and hilarious adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s classicsatirical story loved by adults and children alike.

Writer Mark Hayward said: “We characterise our work as post-modern folk theatre.

“We take well-loved tales and give them a contemporary twist, making them accessible for new audiences and showing seasoned fans something that they perhaps had not seen in them before.

“We also like to give ourselves a challenge.

“With all the fantastical elements Gulliver’s Travels is almost impossible to stage, which is why this new production is partly a faithful literary adaptation, partly a sketch comedy and party a play about how difficult it is to put thebook on stage.
