"Foal is unlike anything I have seen before"
All That Dazzles
“Corner an animal, make him feel scared, that's when he's dangerous.Tell a creature he's a beast, one day he''ll bite back.”
A.K. wants to escape the Island. Live a good life. But the sea draws you back.
When a dreadful secret comes to light, A.K. returns to his home town to confront the shadows of his childhood and put right a terrible wrong. The thing is, he’s worried about the other version of himself, the one who lives inside his ribcage.
An exhilarating fever dream, Foal is a revenge thriller set in the era of the Sony Walkman; a lyrical, urgent new play about masculinity, compassion, and retribution.
