The Tricycle Theatre has announced the return of the Tricycle's 19-25-year-old Young Company's SWITCH for a further four performances in June. This will be the final Tricycle Young Company performance in the building before the Tricycle Theatre closes temporarily for a period of Capital renovations from July 2016.

The original production debuted in scratch form in March 2016 as part of the Tricycle's annual young person's event, Takeover 2016: Paradise. After enjoying a series of sell-out performances, Tricycle Young Company are back with a re-vamped version of their exciting site-specific production that involves audiences on a mission across the whole of the Tricycle.

If you had the chance to plug into a machine that would take you straight to Heaven, would YOU flick the Switch?

The immersive promenade performance takes place throughout the theatre with audiences recast as citizens of a broken future. The performance uses the whole of the Tricycle building as its stage, including some areas rarely open to the public.

Creative Learning Director Liam Shea said: "Switch is a fresh original piece of theatre devised by the Tricycle Young Company that draws the audience into the narrative of a future that is at times scarily close to being reality. The audience get to set their own roles and they get to choose the direction of the drama. I can't think of a better way to round off a fantastic year of our inventive, creative learning programme than with a second chance to participate in this great fun show."

The cast features Heather Agyepong, Rosemary Akinola, Elle Amara, Jamie Ankarah, Sarah Bodenham, Daniel Calfe, Joseph Cannon, Katie Cherry, Rachel Clarke, Joe Collier, Cecelia Crossland, Mustapha Elwadi, Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu, Rasfan Haval, Joshua Jacob, Luke James, Eren Kul, Claire Mannion, John Marfoh, Nicholas Marrast-Lewis, Riyanna Mistry, Rebekah Murrell, Conor Patrick Carroll,LaTanya Peterkin, Nancy Randle, Jennelle Reece-Gardner, Laura Reeve, Lily Reeves, Jessica Rhodes, Iqra Rizwan, Julia Rochlitzer,Nathaniel Wade and James Wilson. Director: Tom Bowtell, Designer: Caroline Jones, Lighting Designer: Sarah-Louise McColgan, Sound Designer: Dinah Mullen, Video designer: Iain Syme, Sound Designer: Dan Da Cunha Blaker.
