Sexual adventurism for sexagenarians in new dramatic comedy INVISIBLE ME at New Wimbledon Theatre

Sexual adventurism comes to the forefront in new play, Invisible Me, by Bren Gosling, which plays at the New Wimbledon Theatre from 3-11 September.

Three Londoners on  the cusp of their seventh decade thwart loneliness and sexual isolation by embracing a new  lease of life, showing there’s fun to be had if you release your inhibitions. 

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. Invisible Me explores the under-represented stories of older singles in London. 

This dramatic comedy seeks to open the doors on the inner workings of singledom as a  sexagenarian. 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. 

Writer Bren Gosling said: “I’m excited for audiences to witness the stories of these three compelling individuals, lifting the lid on sex and singledom in your sixties! Invisible Me is a play  full of hope, not despair. I want to make people think about the diverse identities of the older people around us - there’s a generation out there still seizing life with lust and vigor, they don’t  deserve to be invisible.”
