The Intrusion
A Bric à Brac and Told by an Idiot co-production The Intrusion
We survived so you don’t have to.
The world has ended, time to rejoice. A leader emerges, one who promises a better future. This curious collective may have outlived the humans, but can they avoid repeating the same mistakes?
The Intrusion is a dynamic new collaboration from Bric à Brac Theatre and Told by an Idiot. Featuring original music, creative captioning*, and clown; this darkly comic production offers an anarchic look at extinction and questions who gets to survive.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
Supported by Unity Theatre Trust
