Gulliver's Travels

England 1727. Landed power and summary justice. A troupe of travelling players is commanded to put on a show. If they fail to please, one of their number will die. In the shadow of the gallows, they perform Swift's masterpiece. But how can the reckless and uproarious satire of Gulliver ever satisfy the powerful and move them to mercy? Farhana Sheikh's dramatic adaptation brilliantly captures the many-sidedness of Gulliver s Travels. Harsh and playful, caustic and spirited, it has been acclaimed as the most successful adaptation of Swift's work in over 250 years.
