Severn School presents Dostoyevsky's "The Crocodile"
Ivan Matveich, a working actor in his thirties, is visiting the zoo one afternoon with his best friend, Zack. As a response to Zacks desperate attempt to persuade him to abandon the stage for more worthwhile pursuits, Ivan climbs into the crocodile cage and is swallowed whole. At first, Ivan cries out for someone to slice the beast open and rescue him...but, when he discovers that his new situation brings him instant celebrity, he comes to see it as smart career move, and sets out to exploit it to the full. Playwright Tom Basden turns Dostoyevskys classic allegory into a satirical play about capitalist inhumanity and political celebrity in the Twitter age.
By turns absurd, charming, and subtly sinister. The Times
