Foal at Finborough Theatre: A Descenct Into Darkness

Titas Halder's new play Foal is named after some of the night terrors that visit his protagonist as he sinks into a mental black hole. A study of personal relationships and a fight to find compassion in an often hostile world, we follow A.K., a man recalling and reliving sections of his life as his demons close in on him. He lives on an island with his family and is one of only two Asian children in his school. His childhood, teens and adulthood are punctuated by an undercurrent of racism which, along with a highly problematic relationship with his mother, combine to create a turmoil in his mind that has devastating consequences.
