The Monkey Train

Photos taken by Mary Martin.

This is a walkabout performance piece featuring a poem written by Craig Jordan-Baker especially for the show. It tells the tragic tales of five performing monkeys (each of a different species) as they continue their endless journey aboard the Monkey Train, forever destined to mimic the humans that have caught and trained them.
Created and performed by Daisy Jordan. Poem written by Craig Jordan-Baker. Musicians varied on different occasions (and a new piece composed by each musician themselves) - Lucy Cougherty and Mary Martin; Lynne Thomas; Foz Foster; Felix Clement
