Engaging and very funny.

One of the first that became known as 'kitchen sink dramas'.

After all these years, this is a hard-hitting play, perhaps even more so, now.

Using the power of words and storytelling, Fishskin Trousers by Elizabeth Kuti, weaves together the haunting tales of three lost people from different eras, united by the mysteries of the island of Orford Ness. Directed by Robert Price, and with a cast that includes Brett Brown, Jessica Carroll and Eva Traynor, the official press night will be tomorrow, 19th October, at the Park Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In the 1200AD Chronicon Anglicanum, Ralph of Coggeshall documented the tale of the Wild Man of Orford. Describing a naked wild man, covered in hair, the mysterious figure was caught in the nets of local fishermen around 1167. Mute and feral, the man was imprisoned in Orford Castle for six months before vanishing without a trace. Accounts of the era questioned if the captive was a merman, though it would be centuries until such a story could be reconsidered as a mental health problem.

If you make any claim at all to loving great theatre, you'll see this one.
