THE BALLERINA

Landor_Space

In a country far, far...not so far away, Colin Clutterbuck is brutally arrested and held captive by the local Intelligence Agency.

Angered by the absurdity of the accusations against him, Colin chooses to fight back. But with the infamous Pacifique Muamba as his opponent, the game he began might be tougher than expected... Meanwhile, outside the cell, and unbeknownst to Colin, another, bigger game is at play.

Born as a Rapid Write Response at Theatre 503 (London) and inspired by various events in various countries in Africa, Europe and the US, the first completed draft was long listed (i.e. top 10%) for Theatre 503's 2016 Playwriting Award. The script developed through a scratch excerpt performance at The Rose Playhouse, London, a 3 day R&D and a rehearsed reading at the Actors Centre London in September 2017.
