The Sequel is a dark, funny and unsettling new comedy-drama with a live musical score, exploring what happens when a work of art refuses to stay in the past...
When celebrated author Grace Thoth returns to the café that inspired her breakout novel, she finds it frozen in time - now a gift-shop museum devoted to her work. As old faces resurface and new ones demand to be seen, Grace is drawn into a reckoning with her legacy and the uncomfortable power of being written.
Witty, eerie and sharply contemporary, The Sequel examines the destructive pull of nostalgia, the compulsion to document our lives, and the consequences of turning people and places into stories.
Directed by award-winning director Imy Wyatt Corner, whose production BEASTS won a Fringe First Award and whose Duck received the Charlie Hartill Award.
