In 1935 the eccentric Durrell family moved from South London to Corfu. This play shows his family's life there, and Gerald's early researches into the natural world.
The Lawrence shown here is not the brooding man of 'The Alexandria Quartet'. Gerald said of Lawrence:
'The difference between us is that he loves writing and I don't. To me it's simply a way to make money which enables me to do my animal work, nothing more.'
You wouldn't know it from the quality of his prose.
