'Corner an animal, make him feel scared, that's when he's dangerous. Tell a creature he's a beast, one day he'll bite back.'
A.K. wants to escape the Island. Live a good life. But the sea draws him back…
A dreadful secret has come to light, and A.K. must return to his hometown to confront the shadows of his childhood and right a terrible wrong. But what about the other version of himself, the one who lives inside his ribcage?
An exhilarating fever dream, Foal is a revenge thriller set in the era of the Sony Walkman; a lyrical, urgent play for one actor about masculinity, compassion and retribution. Written by Titas Halder, it was first performed by Amar Chadha-Patel at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Annie Kershaw.
