'The sky turns the colour of a jay's eye. The sea turns a deep
royal purple. The mist lifts in quick, lithe ribbons, like a
conjuring trick. Before us lies the island...' It's 1935, and an
eccentric English family - four children, their widowed mother, and
Roger the dog - arrives on the sun-soaked shores of Corfu to start
a new life. For eleven-year-old Gerry Durrell, the extraordinary
landscape provides the perfect playground. Its exotic fauna
inspires a life-long fascination with the animal kingdom - and his
much-loved memoir My Family and Other Animals. Janys Chambers'
acclaimed stage adaptation was first seen at York Theatre Royal,
and invites other theatre companies to make ingenious and inventive
decisions, bringing to life all the inhabitants of Durrell's
cherished island - whether they walk and talk, fly and squawk,
crawl or swim or slither.
