By John Wyndham, adapted by Jay James-Moody
22 - 25 April 2020
“And we danced, on the brink of an unknown future, to an echo from a vanished past.”
Adapted from the most famous catastrophe novel of the 20th Century, John Wyndham’s chilling classic is manifested to heart-stopping, immersive reality in this audacious new theatrical experience created by Jay James-Moody (The Dismissal, Herringbone).
London, 1954: The Triffids—genetically engineered carnivorous plants with sentience and deadly stings—are farmed globally as a solution to the world’s energy needs. When a freak cosmic event renders most of the Earth’s population blind, one man finds himself trapped in a dystopian world where mobs of sightless people prey on those that can still see, as the unscrupulous seek to create a new world order from the chaos. But another menace stalks blind and sighted alike. With nobody to stop them, the Triffids rise up as humanity stumbles and falls.

Over on the Griffin blog, GREEN PARK playwright Elias Jamieson Brown writes about his experiences of living with Irlen Syndrome and Dyslexia. It's a fascinating piece that offers a fresh perspective on something that's not often talked about. Have a read: https://t.co/4EVN7WjUMr
