An all-female cast has been announced for an innovative new play, which tours the North of England this autumn, co-produced by Black Toffee and Harrogate Theatres.
Parallel is a darkly comic drama, which highlights the personal stories behind homelessness. The play is hugely pertinent, and as well as highlighting this social issue, also explores broader understanding of home, purpose and charity, through the lives of three strangers, who desperately need to connect.
The three women will be played by a cast who will learn all three parts. A dice roll by an audience member decides which parts they play at every performance. So there are, in effect, six different versions.
The cast is confirmed as Janet Kumah, Arabella Gibbins and the writer herself, Laura Lindsay.
Parallel is touring five venues throughout November, playing Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester from November 1 to 5.
