Surprisingly interesting review of a one man play in the UK.

It is a great review. I agree with the reviewer that most of the strength of this isn't in the writing, but in the possibilities for acting and scene transitions. The main character is (or becomes, depending on your interpretation) a fundamentally broken man. I really would like to see zoophilia treated on stage in a manner which isn't tragic or simply dismissive mockery. Maybe I'll try to write something for my local playhouse on it.

Pretty much the only zoophilia related plays are Equus and Conversations , along with "The Hound of Florence" which is not currently a play but could EASILY be made into one. Sorry for swearing, but it took a lot $hit to find an original 1930 edition. The author is Felix Salten and also wrote Bambi. Disney made The Shaggy Gog/The Shaggy DA, based on HF, and Bambi.

There's also "The Goat or Who is Sylvia?" by Edward Albee, which is probably the purest dramatic presentation of zoophilia I've seen. Though it's really more about the nature of taboos and of love than the goat sex itself.

How are the animals represented on stage? I can't seem to find images of the stage.

I think its a one guy show. As in, just him giving his account of past experiences to the audience.

Pretty much. There are references in the script to the animals reacting in some way (growling, panting, etc.), but how this is handled is up to the production.
