Invincible

by Torben Betts

Directed by Nikki Packham

The recession is biting hard and so Emily and Oliver have decided to downsize and shift their middle-class London lifestyle to a small town in the north of England. They want to live, work and raise their two young children in a friendly community, among what Emily terms ‘real people’, away from the cold anonymity of the city.

So these left-leaning, well-educated people have invited over two of their new neighbours in an attempt to break the ice. Tonight Alan and Dawn are to be offered olives, anchovies and are to be introduced to Karl Marx and abstract art.

As classes and outlooks collide, the scene is set for a meeting which will have consequences as hilarious as they are tragic.

“If you liked Abigail’s Party, you’ll almost certainly relish Torben Betts’s astute new play… a vibrant combination of a play of ideas and a comedy of bad manners.”
– Kate Bassett, The Times

“Torben Betts is one of the most exciting theatre writing talents I have come across in many a year.”  Alan Ayckbourn
