'Corner an animal, make him feel scared, that's when he's dangerous. Tell a creature he's a beast, one day he'll bite back.'





A.K. wants to escape the Island. Live a good life. But the sea draws him back





A dreadful secret has come to light, and A.K. must return to his hometown to confront the shadows of his childhood and 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 play for one actor about masculinity, compassion and retribution. Written by Titas Halder, it was first performed by Amar Chadha-Patel at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Annie Kershaw.

Arvustused

'A striking one-man play about a young British Asian man struggling to find himself and fracturing in two... there's a rawness to the writing both tender and raging, restrained and billowingly lyrical that feels quite special... ripples with doubt, tenderness and brittle rage' * Guardian * 'A tense monodrama about the shattering effects of everyday racism and violence' * The Stage * 'Captivating and compelling... Halder creates a full and sympathetic character... his writing deftly demonstrates the gradual fracturing of A.K.'s sense of self and grasp on reality... extraordinary theatre' * Broadway World * 'Astute and resonant... a play that is incredibly moving and important, and is sure to have a strong future' * Theatre & Tonic * 'Tense, intimate and often unsettling... a thrilling piece of theatre' * LondonTheatre1 * 'Dramatic and heartbreaking... Halder's writing is striking and feels real... a play that punches above its weight; it is challenging to watch, compelling throughout, and deserving of a much wider audience' * All That Dazzles * 'An exceptional piece of theatre... powerful, painful and fantastically current... Foal dives into serious, thought-provoking contemporary topics and delivers tremendously' * Reviews Hub *
