This adaptation of a Will Self novel opens this week. I'm going next week and would be interested to hear any comments from people who see it between now and then. The company includes a "chimp consultant", who has evidently been released from his regular job as a Brexit negotiator. www.arcolatheatre.com/event/great-apes/ |

It's a good book, that I enjoyed. It certainly has potential to be a good play.

No one ever posted about this. Did anyone from the forum see it? It got some fairly good reviews, but seems a mixed bag overall. Lyn Gardner said, "Despite some very fine performances including some adroit ape-like vocalisations, the show always seems keener on showcasing its larky cleverness than on creating real feeling." That sounds like a very successful attempt to capture the spirit of Will Self!
