YOUNG ANGELS THEATREMAKERS (2008)

Partners: in association with The Junction, Cambridge and Soho Theatre      
Dates: Autumn 2008 - March 2009      
Production: The Junction, Cambridge, 5 March; Soho Theatre, 9 – 28 March 2009
Supported by Arts Council England, East and the Embassy of Sweden

A £20,000 award for a young theatremaker or creative team to develop, showcase and produce Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s Invasion!

Invasion! assaults our deepest prejudices about identity, race and language. At once hilarious, disturbing and poignant, this deeply subversive play deconstructs a threatening identity – the Arabic male – and forces us to confront our own cultural identity.

Invasion! has been a sell-out with young audiences in Stockholm for two years and was an outstanding success at last year’s
Theatre Café Europe.

Four shortlisted teams showcased their 15min versions of excerpts from the play on Saturday 15 November during the
Theatre Cafe Festival International Symposium. The presentations were judged by a panel chaired by the author.

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Young Angels Award 2008 is Lucy Kerbel.
