An injured and distressed creature turns up on a farms’ doorstep. What is it? A monkey?  A disfigured man? But when this mere ‘beast’ starts to talk, become the star of the circus, but seems to be unhappy to be just a performing animal, who is going to listen? Huddle round for this intriguing and compelling new work, based on the postmodern fairytale by children’s fantasy writer Nicholas Stuart Gray.
