Howard Barker’s Animals In Paradise is an uncompromising look at violence, authority and passion. Known for his distaste for convention and love of ambiguity, Barker’s work spans the distance between two sovereign nations at war: one that eats with forks, and the other with spoons. The students are rioting, the trains won’t run on time, the prince is strangling the economy with vanity projects, and the babies keep on coming. A woman swims the ocean separating the two countries. A peace is formed that is worse than the war.
