The production, also directed by Vyas, will run at the theatre from the 11th to the 22nd March 2025.
Having won last year’s Untapped Award, The Mosinee Project played at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 and now transfers to the New Diorama Theatre who helped to produce the show along with theatre company Counterfactual.
Written and directed by Nikhil Vyas, The Mosinee Project is based on a true event and incorporates live video to explore how we wrestle with our fears and turn them into stories.
Mosinee, Wisconsin, 1950. An idyllic Midwestern town wakes up to find themselves in a nightmare.
Armed Communist forces have taken over; imprisoning townspeople, cutting off communication, and marching through the streets with nobody to oppose them. Prices are changed, barbed wire fences erected, and the Mayor is held at gunpoint. Or so it appears. This is just how it begins.
Speaking about the production, Nikhil Vyas says “Having the opportunity to bring The Mosinee Project to Edinburgh this summer, with the backing of the Untapped Award, was transformative, leading to a sell-out run and incredible audience response. We’re now thrilled to be able to bring the show, in its freshest and boldest version, to audiences in London. At a moment when US politics is rapidly darkening, it feels like this story is even more prescient.”
While casting has yet to be announced, the production’s creative team includes: Set & Costume Designer Grace Venning, Lighting Designer Catja Hamilton, Sound Designer Patch Middleton, Research Consultant Emma Jude Harris and Fight Director Robin Hellier.
