Theatre: Brilliant dystopian fable with fat-cat message for our times

The Animals and Children Took to the Streets is set in a dystopian world where the outcasts of society, banished to Redherring Street, live in the rotting tenement Bayou Mansion alongside an assortment of misfits — perverts, peeping Toms, gangsters and Wayne the racist.
