PREVIEW for a MUST SEE performance: THE DEN 10.09.15-12.09.15




Gbemisola Ikumelo creator of Faith Drama productions is  collaborating with a large talented team of people to create an incredible immersive theatre performance from Thursday 10th September- Saturday 12th September 2015 in an all encompassing warehouse setting in Hackney Wick. 


Gbemisola is the writer and director of the show and talks us through how it got to this point and what the show is about. 

After sitting in on a rehearsal, I felt totally drawn into the drama and conflict that was unfolding before me,  and Gbemisola's directing style was engaging and sharp. The actors I chatted with discussed how useful and progressive it was working with her as a director, and I could see how she knew exactly what she wanted from the actors and how this would lead to a hard-hitting well considered performance. 


It was a pleasure to talk to Cindy Claes who, as you know, has already featured in an exclusive interview on the blog (read her interview here.) She's not only an incredible dancer, but a movement director who is contributing her expertise to this show. 


A little teaser of the show....




90 years after the London riots the governments laws


controlling childbirth has seen many children flee.
The Den becomes the only place of solace left but in a world where
"adulthood breeds corruption"

 It's a must see! I've seen the set and its overwhelmingly well thought out...and what's more...there's even parkour to add to the mix. Get your tickets now! You can book by clicking the link below:
