Distance: a visually dynamic portrayal of the mind
|
Following the acclaimed Out Of The Cage (Park Theatre), Fine Line productions, Alex McSweeney and Simon Pittman(Associate Director, Frantic Assembly), return with this powerful contemporary story, to bring you an emotionally gripping, darkly funny, visually dynamic portrayal of the mind.
Steven, recently separated and heading towards divorce, bumps into an old friend on the journey to a job interview. A complex recent past and a fragile present collide, as Steven tries to make sense of the world around him and his place within it. We accelerate headlong into Steven’s chaotic and troubled inner life, as the everyday encounter unravels into something dark, disturbing and unrestrained.

In the borough of Islington there are 3,774 people living with a serious mental illness, the highest prevalence of Serious Mental Illness in London, according to Islington’s 2018 annual report.
Distance is an urgent examination of mental illness, and its impact on the individual, their family, and the society around them. We’re proud to be working with local mental health charities: Mind (Haringey), Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and The Stuart Low Trust to shine a light on mental health.
