New Psychodrama play to receive world premiere in London

Matt Wilkinson’s Psychodrama is set to have its world premiere at brand new performance space, Never For Ever, in Kentish Town next month.

Starring Emily Bruni (Peep Show), the piece is a revenge tale about an actress being investigated for the murder of a theatre director. The piece is written and directed by Wilkinson and has been inspired in parts by Hitchcock’s Psycho. It also has a soundscape created by the award-winning Gareth Fry.

Wilkinson said: “Psychodrama is a trip into the world of acting in the context of a slasher whodunnit; all set against the backdrop of a stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. We have decided to stage it now as an act of optimism in the face of Covid, the cancellation of the Edinburgh Fringe and the closure of theatres.

"The pandemic has deepened relationships in our local community among friends, neighbours and shopkeepers so it makes so much sense to put on a show in our local Kentish Town even though there's no official theatre here! We're indebted to Hezi Yechiel and his team at Never For Ever for all their support and for giving us the run of their fantastic new space, and in so doing helping to kickstart a local community of performance artists in the future."

The show is 70minutes long and will run from 12-22 November 2020.
