Little Animals

70m · Theatre

You’re invited to Richard’s memorial. Richard is dead, after all. He’s gone. But his friend wasn’t invited to the funeral. And he can’t let go because something happened. Something he needs to lay to rest. This is his chance. Little Animals is the story of a life-long friendship, set in a culture that can’t stop consuming. As Richard’s climate concern grows more extreme, and his friend struggles with mortgages and parenthood, it drives a wedge between them. Because it’s not like one bag of pre-chopped carrots is the thing that’s destroying the entire planet. Is it? A frank, funny & inventive one-man show, written & performed by Paul Ready (National Theatre, Motherland, Utopia) about what we’ve lost, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ever-present chance to write a new one.
