About the Show

A family-friendly adaptation of Jonathan Swift's tale of adventure to magical lands.

This devised production, based on the original story from Jonathan Swift, will take audiences along for the ride as Gulliver sets off to explore distant lands and their many fascinating inhabitants. On his journey, Gulliver will learn an awful lot about friendship and self. This funny, creative production will use a variety of means to bring Swift's creations to life, including projection and detailed table-top set pieces.
Jaz Woodcock-Stewart directs.
