Minty Fresh Productions has announced today that the world premiere of Outside, a new production written and performed by Gabrielle MacPherson, will be live streamed from The Space in East London between 18-20 February 2021. 

The production, directed by Karis Crimson, asks the question “can revenge ever be justified?” It follows Willa who, we are told, hasn’t ever left her house until now. For 30 years, each moment of her life has been controlled and she spent every night locked in her room. Now, she finds herself in a witness questioning suite, searching for evidence of her existence. But she can’t be hidden away anymore. A dark secret is about to come to light. Willa’s attempt at freedom can lead to nothing but more horrific revelations. 

MacPherson is thrilled to be bringing Willa’s story to life. She said: “In such a difficult and uncertain time for everyone, the team and I feel so fortunate to tell Willa’s story. I worked on Outside throughout 2020, a year where none of us could go out, so it’s really wonderful that in 2021 Willa and I get to venture outside our homes and into yours - from a safe distance, of course.”

MacPherson is also the co-founder of Degenerate Fox Theatre. As a writer, she has been shortlisted for The Charlie Harthill Special Reserve Fund and as an actor, her credits include Fokin’ Bring It On Lads (Vault Festival), The Dirty Thirty (Rosemary Branch Theatre), What’s In The Box?, Our Time (Haringay Shed) and The Beasts (Courtyard Theatre).

Director Karis Crimson’s previous credits include Bette and Joan (Sundial Theatre), Cry, Blueberry (The Cockpit Theatre) and The Resistance Collection (The Embassy Theatre). She is the co-founder of Pelvic Films with upcoming releases including Jan + The Gang. 

Tickets for OUTSIDE are available here with the production operating a ‘pay what you choose’ scheme of £5/£10/£15.
