KINGS HEAD THEATRE

Overview

Invasive Species is a dark comedy and true story about Maia, an immigrant actor who will stop at nothing to achieve her dream of being in the American movies, even if that means having to act her way out of a youth psychiatric ward. 

After being named one of the best cultural works of the year by The Hollywood Reporter and racking up more than 17 million views on TikTok, the New York cult hit invades London this autumn for a strictly limited 5-week run.

“Visually, the production embraces
simplicity - It’s stark but effective and
serves the piece’s stripped-back urgency."
