The Luminous

About

Three women. A book. One unforgettable night. The Luminous is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Friday 18 October at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16 | £14 supporters.

Part Victorian thriller, part contemporary tale of friendship and rebellion. This time-travelling, genre-busting new show combines RedCape Theatre’s unique blend of physical theatre, dark comedy and gripping storytelling.

As protesters gather outside the hospital where they work, three women meet up for a monthly book club. This month’s book is Luminous. It is a dark delve into Victorian London, where lurid stories are brought to life for entertainment in the penny gaff theatres: tales of an anonymous killer haunting the city and women whose bones glow through their skin.

In the twenty-first century living room, the wine is flowing and the discussion is getting heated. Mighty thinks the book is outrageous, Mags thinks it’s the best thing she’s ever read, and Alice hasn’t got past page three. As the women get drawn deeper into the story, memories surface, unexpected connections are made, and the worlds begin to blur.

RedCape Theatre came together in 2006. They make and tour original plays. Their starting point is always a true story. They are drawn to ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

Funded by Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant. Commissioned by Corn Exchange Newbury with support from South Street Arts, Proteus Theatre and University of Exeter.

Age recommendation:14+ years.
