‍"Animals is a dark comedy, with plenty of very funny moments, mostly courtesy of the old ladies’ scandalous exploits. But it’s also a serious examination of important issues. Topical references, such as the mention of zero hour contracts, remind us that this imaginary world might not be so far away from becoming a reality, and force us to confront the ethical dilemma: when resources run short, how do we decide who gets them? Should the financial contribution made by someone now outweigh anything they may have done in the rest of their life, or indeed their other good qualities? Who gets to decide the worth of another human being? These are questions that make you think, and stay with you long after you leave the theatre." —London Theatre 1
