Summary:
Jonathan Swift’s classic satire, in a brand new dramatisation starring Arthur Darvill (Rory from BBC Television’s Doctor Who)
Gulliver is shipwrecked on the Isle of Lilliput where in fact the natives are tiny people living in a small society. Along with his unique overview of this world, Gulliver discovers an environment of petty politics and small minds. Coerced into a war between two nations who disagree on how to eat boiled eggs, Gulliver finds himself betrayed by friends and battered by opponents – escape is normally his only option if he really wants to survive!
Gulliver’s travels in Lilliput are hilarious, disturbing and profound. This is a story of dishonest politicians, mindless ceremony and wars based on unconvincing arguments. A satire as potent now since it ever was!
