Hampstead Theatre has released production images for the world premiere of The Animal Kingdom, by Ruby Thomas with direction by Lucy Morrison. 

This new play is an observation of family dynamics told with wit and compassion featuring Paul Keating, Martina Laird, Jonathan McGuinness, Ashna Rabheru and Ragevan Vasan.  The Animal Kingdom will run at Hampstead Downstairs until 26 March.

Sam is struggling.  Being a human has never been simple for him.  He just feels like a different kind of creature.  Sam’s family don’t understand.  But then they barely understand themselves.  Now, trapped in a stuffy inpatient clinic undergoing family therapy, they must find new ways to communicate with each other so that, one way or another, Sam can be released from captivity.

Listings and ticket information can be found here
