A superpower I’m sure many would wish to have, the concept of invisibility has captured the imaginations of many. Originally published in 1897, H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man has done just this – the tale following scientist Griffin’s discovery of how to make himself invisible, this starting off a chain of events that lead to life changing circumstances before his true form is revealed. Inspired by the work of Wells, AKIMBO present No One, a supernatural thriller taking us on an unpredictable journey of the metaphysical.
Our families are what keep us rooted, often our first interaction with the wider world, here is where initial meaningful connections are formed. Marking the re-opening of the Arcola Theatre with their spring season, Barney Norris returns with the premiere of his latest work We Started to Sing, a piece tracing the distance that grows amongst a family over 3 decades as they pave new lives for themselves across the UK. Having recently just opened, the production plays until Saturday 18th June. Forming part of the production’s ensemble, cast member Naomi Petersen tells us more about what inspired her to take part in the show, what preparing for her role involved and what she’s learned from the creative process.
