Join the Durrell’s on a Mediterranean adventure this Winter in Lewes

My Family and Other Animals play overview

Book tickets to this new one-off live show which will be an exotic treat for the whole family.

The Lewes Drama Collective’s Thursday Youth Group presents Gerald Durrell’s story ‘My Family and Other Animals’ at the All Saints Centre just around the corner from Lewes train station:

“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.”

‘Weaves the poetic, wide-eyed prose of Gerald Durrell’s childhood memoir into a really charming and fun play’ – Whatsonstage
