The sky transforms into a captivating shade of blue, resembling the vibrant iris of a jay's eye. The sea metamorphoses into a majestic deep royal purple, evoking a sense of elegance and grandeur. The mist rises swiftly, dancing in graceful ribbons, akin to a mesmerizing conjuring trick. Before us lies the enchanting island of Corfu, beckoning us with its promise of a new and extraordinary life.
It's the year 1935, and an unconventional English family finds its way to the sun-kissed shores of Corfu, seeking a fresh start in a new life. Among them are four children, their widowed mother, and the loyal Roger the dog. For eleven-year-old Gerry Durrell, the breathtaking landscape becomes an unparalleled playground. The exotic fauna ignites a lifelong fascination with the animal kingdom, which finds its expression in his beloved memoir, "My Family and Other Animals."
The stage adaptation of Janys Chambers, hailed as a masterpiece, made its debut at York Theatre Royal, inviting other theatre companies to embrace creativity and innovation. Through their imaginative interpretations, they bring to life the diverse inhabitants of Durrell's cherished island, whether they walk, talk, fly, squawk, crawl, swim, or slither. Corfu becomes a vibrant tapestry of life, alive with the wonders of nature and the rich tapestry of human existence.
