We'll tell you as soon as tickets go on sale:
It's human nature David is gay, disabled and looking for love. He can’t eat, drink or shower by himself and has never even been kissed – let alone the rest. As he sets off on a sexual and romantic adventure, armed with a fierce brain and impressive nudes (that he has to get someone else to take), can he manage the thrill and uncertainty of dating after a lifetime of knock-backs?
Hilarious, challenging and heart-breaking, ANIMAL won the inaugural Through The Mill Prize (Hope Mill Theatre supported by Jonathan Harvey), and was shortlisted in the top five for the Papatango Prize out of more than 1,500 entries.
Jon Bradfield co-wrote Above The Stag Theatre's acclaimed series of queer adult pantomimes, most recently Dick Whittington – A New Dick in Town (★★★★ The Guardian, ★★★★★ The Stage), and he wrote Missing Alice for the BBC and Old Vic. Josh Hepple is an activist with severe cerebral palsy. He has a masters in law and teaches at various universities. He has been a theatre reviewer, and is an equality trainer and a writer-journalist at The Guardian and Huffington Post.
