Torben Betts’s recession–set play Invincible is to tour nationally for the first time.
It originally premièred two years ago at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, and transferred to London's St James Theatre where it enjoyed continued critical success.
Christopher Harper will direct; he said, “in 2009, I was in a very dark and edgy play of Torben’s about a man and wife moving in together, just as my wife and I first moved in together. And she was cast as the wife!
"Invincible is lighter and a brilliant, fast-moving story, but Torben's uncanny ability to depict life and find both the dark and the hysterically funny hasn't changed. We all know people like the four in Invincible.
"When you watch you'll have your head in your hands, you'll cover your eyes, you'll grip your seat and punch the air. It's a masterpiece of comic timing, one-liners and heart-breaking loss.”
Invincible is an Original Theatre Company and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds co-production.
