Casting announced for new dramatic comedy INVISIBLE ME at New Wimbledon Theatre
Casting has been announced for new dramatic comedy Invisible Me by Bren Gosling, which plays at New Wimbledon Theatre’s Studio from 3-11 September.
The production will bring together the talents of Debbie Christie (Bette and Joan, Wokingham Theatre; Mogg’s War, Old Red Lion Theatre), Andrew Fettes (The Red Lion, The Capitol Horsham; Death and the Maiden, tour) and Philip Gill (Red Skies, East Anglia tour; Sketches, Union Theatre) to tell the story of three sexually adventurous sexagenarians.
Directed by Su Gilroy, Invisible Me is a thought-provoking insight into the human condition and our need for connection, highlighting how we entwine with others on an emotional and physical level. Opening the door on singledom in your sixties, the production shines a light on the under represented stories of older singles dating in London.
Three very different individuals are united by sex: Lynn, a hotel cleaner, lives alone in her mother’s house; Jack, an HIV+ recent widower, struggles with the concept of digital dating; and Alec, a divorcee with an identity crisis, clutches at his youth. But despite their hardships there’s a prevailing message of optimism to be found in the most unlikely of situations.
Director Su Gilroy said: “I’m looking forward to bringing these vibrant characters and Bren’s text to life on stage with such an incredibly talented cast. It’s a powerful play with an inspired message that I’m sure will resonate with audiences today – you’re never too old to start seizing the day!”
