Butterfly Psyche Theatre

By Steve Lambert. Presented by Butterfly Psyche Theatre.

Meet the Thompsons - a modern British family living in London. Ajay (AJ) and his girlfriend Grace have moved into the family home with his mother Maya and his twin sister Serena in order to save money to buy their first home. When tragedy strikes, each of them must find a way to cope in the best way they can. Just when life begins to get back on track, a strange event takes place that threatens the path to normalcy, dredges up the past, and explodes the secrets they've all tried to keep.

Butterfly Psyche Theatre are makers of personal, heartfelt and honest stories for the theatre, placing audiences and artists at the centre of what they do. Their work explores difficult topics with humour and respect, making theatre with universal issues, through universal stories.

In October 2016, with the support of an Arts Council England Grant for the Arts, the team undertook a period of Research and Development rehearsals to explore and create characters and story for writer, Steve Lambert, to use as source material to create a script for this new play.

This production will be a Script in Hand performance (actors will use scripts and the performance will have minimal tech) with an audience Feedback/Q&A session after the show. This feedback will help the team to further develop the project, before going on to the full production/tour in 2017/18.

This show features adult themes and issues and is therefore not suited to children under 16.
