Time Out says

An adult chimpanzee thinks back wistfully to the human family who gave it away in this tear-jerking puppet show

A grown-up chimpanzee locked up in a biomedical facility thinks back to happier times when a human family raised her. ‘Chimpanzee’ is a poignant show from American Nick Lehane inspired by true tales of US families who fostered apes but abandoned them when they got too big. A trio of puppeteers control the lifesize chimp, which visits the Barbican as part of the London International Mime Festival 2020.
