Invitation to the Theatre

 Hello to the GBA/GPN,

 

Greetings from Park Theatre. I’m Daniel – producer here and I’d love to talk to you about a play we’re bringing to the stage this spring called ANIMAL. It’s a really unique play (I know all producers say that) that looks at disability and desire, identity and independence and we're looking for opportunities to invite special interest groups within the community to come and see the show, to hopefully tie in with LGBTQ+ or disability awareness work they might be doing. I thought, therefore, that this play could be of real interest to the GBA:

 

ANIMAL

By Jon Bradfield (from a story by Jon Bradfield and Josh Hepple) and directed by Bronagh Lagan

 

David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can’t eat, drink or shower by himself – let alone the rest. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain and impressive nudes (that he has to get someone else to take). But can David keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? Can he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knock-backs? Hilarious, challenging and heart-breaking, ANIMAL has already been wowing audiences in Manchester for the past month:

★★★★ “an impeccable production… hinges on the desire to love and be loved in return” I Love Manchester

★★★★ “bold, brave and brilliant… a truly vital piece of theatre” Fankly My Dear

★★★★ “eye-opening, heart-wrenching, hilarious” Manchester Theatres

 

The production trailer can be seen here. The show runs from 19^th April until 20^th May (Mon-Sat at 7:30pm, Thurs & Sat at 3pm) at Park Theatre, London. It’s selling really well already and, after the press night, we anticipate it will be even harder to get tickets so we’re approaching special interest groups now so that you don’t miss out.

 

Tickets ranges between £15 - £44.50 - depending on matinee or evening, weekday or weekend. We can of course arrange discounts or create a unique promo code for special interest groups, as well as facilitate packages for larger groups with pizza and drinks before the show in a privae area of our newly refurbished bar and even the potential for Q&As with key creatives or cast members, so please do let us know if you’d be interested to find out more.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you,

 

Daniel
