The month’s worth of theatre includes the continuation of the Latin American Season, presented by the Actors Centre and curated by Untold Collectiv, which runs from 13-19 November.
Performances under this umbrella include Shaken by Mariana Lafón, Playing Latinx by Guido Garcia Lueches, He Wanted to be a Bird by Eduardo Arcelus, Failing at ADDulthood by Splash Morales, and more.
From 27 November - 6 December In Search of a White Identity by Cliffordkuju Henry, runs, having originally been part of the Actors Centre’s Working Class Season curated in 2019. The Old House by Kate Maravan runs from 4-13 December, having been inspired by Kate’s mother’s journey with Alzheimer’s.
Mitchell Reeve, theatre programme manager at the Actors Centre said, ‘We are delighted to be able to offer audiences this season of on demand theatre, which includes a plethora of new work from dynamic and exciting theatre-makers.
‘When we went into lockdown back in March, we were in the midst of our run for the Latin American Season, featuring a series of work-in-progress productions from Latinx artists. We are thrilled to be able to complete the season online, which will also include some new additions.’
He added, ‘We are incredibly excited for audiences to finally see Cliffordkuju Henry’s In Search of a White Identity, and for this crucial and pertinent play to reach wider audiences through our on demand programme. In today’s political climate, its message of unity and commonality against the odds is a powerful and vital one.
‘The on demand season is completed by Kate Maravan’s, The Old House, which is a poignant and touching play inspired by Kate’s mother’s journey with Alzheimer’s; exploring how two women's journeys of loss and new found freedom are interwoven.’
The first release of plays will be available to stream on demand here from 7.30pm tonight (13 November).
