“With its kinetic performances and genre-pushing structure, Novi’s thrill ride lands like a high-stakes fever dream” - The Hollywood Reporter 

Invasive Species is a dark comedy and true story about Maia, an immigrant actor who will stop at nothing to achieve her dream of being in the American movies, even if that means having to act her way out of a youth psychiatric ward.

After being named one of the best cultural works of the year by The Hollywood Reporter and racking up more than 17 million views on TikTok, the New York cult hit invades London this autumn for a strictly limited 5-week run.

Use code EARLYBIRD for £20 Off -Peak & £25 Peak shows. 
Valid on Band B-D, until 20 April.
