Summary:
Jonathan Swift’s classic satire, in a brand new dramatisation starring Arthur Darvill (Rory from BBC Television’s Doctor Who)
Gulliver is shipwrecked in the Island of Lilliput where in fact the natives are tiny people living in a miniature society. With his unique overview of this world, Gulliver discovers a world of petty politics and small minds. Coerced right into a battle between two countries who disagree on the best way to eat boiled eggs, Gulliver finds himself betrayed by friends and battered by enemies – escape is certainly his only choice if he wants to survive!
Gulliver’s journeys in Lilliput are hilarious, disturbing and profound. This is a story of dishonest politicians, mindless ceremony and wars predicated on unconvincing quarrels. A satire as powerful now since it ever was!
