Off West End Award Nomination: Intra Muros - Best Performance Ensemble

<

 

‘Now it’s your turn to act…’ 

Ageing thespian Richard is preparing to direct his first theatre class in a maximum security prison, assisted by his former-actress ex-wife Jane and an inexperienced social worker called Alice. When only two inmates turn up he decides to go ahead with the class nonetheless - and so begins a captivating and darkly comic exploration of life, within the walls.

Written by the multi Molière Award-winning Alexis Michalik (Edmond, Le Porteur d'histoire, Le Cercle des illusionnistes) the critically acclaimed Intra Muros will enjoy its UK Premiere at Park Theatre.

Full of Michalik’s trademark sharp wit and extraordinary method of storytelling, including a live on-stage DJ; this multi-faceted, provocative comedy drama questions our concept of time and its effect on the human spirit.
