Pilot Theatre have today released new behind the scenes images for the Autumn tour of Run, Rebel, Manjeet Mann’s electrifying adaptation of her award-winning young adult novel about a young girl defining her place in the world.
Opening at Theatre Peckham in London from 26 September-4 Oct ahead of a 5 week UK tour, the images feature cast members Pushpinder Chani (Faith, Royal Shakespeare Company and Around the World in 80 Days, Kenny Wax Productions/New Vic Theatre); Heather Forster (The Book of Dust – La Bella Sauvage, Bridge Theatre); Jessica Kaur (Brassic, Sky One and An Adventure, Bolton Octagon Theatre); Asha Kingsley (The House of Bernada Alba, National Theatre); Simran Kular (Anita and Me and Pride and Joy, both at the Birmingham REP) and Kiran Raywilliams.
Amber is trapped – by her family’s rules, by their expectations, by her own fears. But on the running track she is completely free. As her body speeds up, the world slows down. And the tangled, mixed-up lines in her head start to make sense.
It is time to start a revolution: for her mother, for her sister, for herself. Run, Amber. Run.
Following the critically acclaimed productions of Noughts and Crosses, Crongton Knights, The Bone Sparrow, and A Song for Ella Grey, Pilot Theatre brings another spellbinding adaptation of the best recent young adult fiction to UK stages.
Combining physical theatre and mesmerising visuals, and performed by a multi-talented cast, it promises to be another landmark co-production made especially for young theatre audiences.
Directed by Tessa Walker (Northanger Abbey, Orange Tree Theatre and Ravenscourt, Hampstead Theatre), Run, Rebel will open at Theatre Peckham in London (26 September – 4 October) then tour to Leicester Curve Studio (10-12 October); Oxford Playhouse (16-19 October); Leeds Playhouse (22-26 October); The Lowry Quays Theatre (29 October-2 November) and Traverse Edinburgh (7-9 November)
