The White Plague | 7-22 April | Landor Space | £15/12

Here are 5 reasons why you should get involved with The White Plague:
  1. ‘The White Plague’ is an immersive political play that places the audience at the heart of the performance, where you can use all senses except sight. The story imagines the collapse of London amidst a blindness epidemic and follows a small community of survivors locked up in an asylum. A woman that still ‘sees’ will start a revolt that will lead them to freedom.
  2. The company plan to make the performance accessible for sight-impaired audiences by providing trained Front Of House staff, set or touch tours and info/synopsis material printed in Braille.
  3. By staging the show at Landor Space and using a diverse cast, Ferodo Bridges aim to reach South London audiences with a political and imaginative piece of theatre that is relevant and affordable.
  4. The company are working with the local Clapham Youth Centre and the Brixton Community Base in order to reach a diverse audience and give the opportunity to young people to attend a theatre-devising workshop and performances of ‘The White Plague’ for free.
  5. The Cast includes Michal Keyamo (Hijabi Monologues (Bush); The Welcoming Party (MIF); Red Forest (Young Vic); and King Lear (Shakespeare’s Globe)), Graham Naiken (since graduating he has worked as actor, puppeteer, storyteller, writer, film maker, workshop facilitator and director, at numerous established creative venues such as Eden Project, Tate Britain and South Bank Centre), Paul Croft (Secret Cinema; Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Dr Strangelove. Recent work; “The Sense of an Ending”, BBC Film directed by Ritesh Batra – “BAD ACID” by David Chaudoir -“Brexodus the Musical”, and a new musical “Doodle”.) and Peter Losasso (The Wipers Times (Watermill/Arts))
