Following a sell-out scratch, Overheard comes to The Bunker Theatre with brand new verbatim conversations recorded out and about in London. A gender equal and diverse cast of eleven actors, (re)present the weird and wonderful characters of our capital in all their glory.
“Funniest play I’ve ever seen @OverheardPlay – astonishing performances & extraordinary true conversations overheard in #London” | @DrJaneMcNeill
The cast of Overheard have been recording conversations while they go about their daily lives. Not people’s private whisperings, but when it’s impossible not to listen: Dom Joly style phone calls or bust-ups on silent buses – you know the type. They take those words verbatim, anonymise them, and bring them to life once more before your eyes. Sometimes, the context is changed – builders become Beauty Queens and schoolboys become MPs at the despatch box – but the words are always exactly the same. You’ll never put your headphones in during a bus journey again.
The Cast of Overhead: Aisha Weise-Forbes, Alexander Jeremy, Charlotte Salkind, Christopher Adams, Emer O Connor, Jamie Seymour, Joey Akubeze, Katherine Bennett-Fox, Louisa Hollway, Sam Thorpe-Spinks, and Susie Kimnell.
Overheard is at The Bunker Theatre 19th February 2018.
