TNT Theatre Britain has a reputation for innovative performances of classical works. In this performance they tackle Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, using jazz and various props like stilts to bring the show to life. ¥80-380.
GULLIVER’S TRAVELS a modern version of Jonathan Swift’s satire.
A traveling show in the 18th century – the showman has paid for the 2madman” Lemuel Gulliver and displays him in a cage. The madman is forced to perform his incredible tale: Gulliver’s Travels. Gulliver is mad because he is consumed by misanthropy (hatred of humanity) and longs to be a “noble” horse. With the aid of song and spectacle the traveling players perform the tale of Gulliver – with the “real” Gulliver playing himself.
