Gulliver wakes up in a strange place, and finds he can’t move at all. His arms, legs and even his long hair all appear to be tied down. And upon his chest, he sees a tiny human creature, just six inches tall, carrying a tiny bow and lots of arrows! See a sample page here.

OUR PLAY BEGINS WITH THESE WORDS …
My father had a small estate
in a place called Nottinghamshire.
I was the third of his five sons,
and I was the one with fire.

In one of the best known scenes in literature, our hero, Lemuel Gulliver, meets the Lilliputians. Swift’s reality bending continues as Gulliver’s travels take him also to Brobdingnab (where humans are sixty feet tall), math and music loving Laputa, and the land of Yahoos and Houynhnms, where Gulliver is befriended by a horse.
