Enveloped in Velvet
T0409498156
In a series of interweaving monologues, four people challenge themselves to speak honestly about the things we think but don't say; exposing the struggle between how they really feel and how they are conditioned to feel. Though these four people never interact, their stories eventually collapse and collide towards a shared place and a shared experience. Investigating human connection and social isolation by placing the audience at the very centre of the experience-offering them the opportunity to feel that they are part of something vital and important - Enveloped in Velvet is an arresting piece of theatre that provokes audiences simply by speaking to them, directly. Since being selected for NSDF with their award-winning site-specific revival of Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, Ransack have been working with emerging playwright Piers Black-Hawkins, (Soho Theatre Writers Lab and recently shortlisted for the BBC Alfred Bradley Bursary Award) and director Cat Robey (Off-West End Award Nominee for Best Director 2013), to develop Enveloped in Velvet into an immersive, site-specific show.
