Gulliver’s Travels
By Jonathan Swift
In a new adaptation by Toby Hulse
Directed by Ade Morris
Imagine a
land full of corruption, led by conceited and weak politicians, where
the baser instincts of human nature reign supreme and only the faint
hope of redemption remains... sound familiar? From the miniature
monsters of Lilliput to the gentle giants of Brobdingnag, from the
maniacal scientists of Laputa to the brutish Yahoos, this hilarious and
striking adaptation of Gulliver’s extraordinary journey is true to the
spirit of Jonathan Swift’s original stunning, fantastical adult satire.
As Lemuel Gulliver’s tales become wilder and wilder Mary, his wife, and
Sympson, his cousin, are pulled into the stories, helping to create the
weird and wonderful worlds and a host of extraordinary characters.
The Spitting Image and Day Today of its time, Gulliver’s
Travels remains as viciously funny and as outrageously truthful as the
day that it was first published.
