Omnibus Theatre announces the cast for the rescheduled premiere of critically acclaimed writer Victoria Willing’s (The Stage Debut Awards, nominated Best New Writer 2017) new play SAD, a dark comedy about the messiness of life.
Billy (Damian Lynch) and Scarlet (Izabella Urbanowicz) meet in a damp underpass covered in graffiti. He is involved in gang crime; she is the mother of their 15-year-old son Alfie. In a London where the tunnel acts as a partition between luxury living and council estates, the characters come to terms with how their relationship has changed through the years, gentrification, and the innate violence of Billy's lifestyle.
Where would theatre be without literary adaptations? From The Woman in Black to Matilda The Musical, some of the best shows originate from books. At first glance, Sarah Waters' fourth novel, the 2006 hit The Night Watch, is ripe for adaptation for the stage. A tale of love and desire set during and after World War Two, it follows the stories of four Londoners in reverse. They manage to survive The Blitz, but are forever-changed by their experiences.

I was 12 years old when I first picked up a copy of Strindberg's Miss Julie. I'm glad I didn't understand subtext at that age, but I'm eternally grateful that my mother casually left a copy lying around the house. From then on I was determined to play this zany, frenetic, iconic human.
