My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
A delightful and inventive stage version of Gerald Durrell's well-loved memoir of a childhood growing up in Corfu.'Simply a delight.. The play's triumph is in the way it captures the exuberance of youth and the strangeness of the new culture that Gerald and his family find themselves in... it's there in Janys Chambers' adaptation, which keeps chunks of Durrell's evocative prose while adding some wonderfully funny embellishments'
* The Stage *'Durrell gets the revival he deserves... it fairly fizzes with life'
* Daily Mail *'Weaves the poetic, wide-eyed prose of Gerald Durrell's childhood memoir into a really charming and fun play'
* Whatsonstage *
