FOAL

FOAL RAN AT THE FINBOROUGH THEATRE in Spring 2026.

‘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 you back.

When a dreadful secret comes to light, A.K. returns to his home town to confront the shadows of his childhood and put right a terrible wrong. The thing is, he’s worried 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 new play about masculinity, compassion, and retribution.
