More Invincible at Scarborough
DUE to popular demand, The Original Theatre Company's production of Torben Betts’s critically-acclaimed Invincible is touring the UK for the second consecutive year and can be seen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough next month.
Directed by Christopher Harper, the show plays at the SJT from Wednesday, February 22 to Saturday, February 25.
Alastair Whatley, Emily Bowker and Graham Brookes reprise the roles of Oliver, Emily and Alan, and SJT regular Elizabeth Boag joins the 2017 tour as Dawn. Boag was brought up in Pickering, North Yorkshire, and has been seen at the SJT in 2013’s Arrivals and Departures and Farcicals and Roundelay in 2014, and in 2015’s Confusions and Hero’s Welcome which played to great acclaim as part of the Brits Off Broadway festival in New York early last year.
Artistic Director of The Original Theatre Company Alastair Whatley says: “We are delighted to be taking Invincible back on the road in 2017. Torben’s state-of-the-nation comedy reached out to audiences across the UK in 2016 with his vision of a nation divided, cleft in two down the Watford Gap. We look forward to navigating the play through post-Brexit Britain in 2017.”
Invincible had its world premiere at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond in 2014 and transferred later that same year to St James Theatre, London. A Spanish version, Invencible, has just begun a nine-month tour of Spain, starring film actress Maribel Verdu.
