What the Animals Say

Caustic Northern Irish playwright David Ireland has gone on to big, provoctive things. But he’s clearly always had a soft spot for influential fringe theatre the Finborough, with his early plays Everything In Between Us and Yes So I Said Yes receiving their London premieres there. And now so it goes for What the Animals Say, his previously unstaged in England debut, which follows a atruggling actor and a celebrity footballer as they bond and then clash on the Stranraer to Belfast ferry. Harry Burton directs Robbie Martin and Matthew Blaney.
