About The Play

A.K. wants to escape the Island. Live a good life. Still 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. 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 new play about masculinity, compassion, and retribution.

Winner of the Genesis Future Director’s Award Annie Kershaw directs the world premiere of a stunning new play by Associate Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse Titas Halder, returning to the Finborough Theatre after his acclaimed playwriting debut with Run the Beast Down in 2017.
