The story begins in a public square in London in 1730. The Showmaster has captured Gulliver, who has gone mad after his adventures. Gulliver is being displayed at fairgrounds and is forced to perform his own story with the help of some actors, who themselves are bullied by the Showmaster.

Gulliver’s Travels is, in the words of George Orwell, one of the ten best books ever written.
The book’s iconic images of giants and Lilliputians, humour, satire, adventure stories, and profound analysis of what it is to be human have enchanted and challenged us all for three hundred years.
Join us on the greatest fictional voyage, a voyage not only to wild lands peopled with mad scientists and talking horses but into our own selves.
