Rainbow Class by Vivienne Acheampong added to RADAR programme
- Runs 25-26 November
The Bush Theatre’s 2015 RADAR festival of contemporary new writing will now include Vivienne Acheampong’s new show Rainbow Class – a one woman comedy based on the experiences of a primary school teacher.
The previously announced show The Ground Is On Fire will no longer form part of RADAR, due to illness.
RADAR is a festival presenting the Bush’s annual snapshot of the very best of contemporary new writing, from London to the rest of the UK and beyond. Embracing a wide range of voices, styles and experiences, the aim of RADAR is to champion a new generation of artists, to present them to a wider audience, to offer a testing ground for new work, and to begin and nurture long-term relationships between the Bush and emerging artists.
Each night of the festival, two shows will be presented in a double bill under one ticket. As in previous years, RADAR CONNECT will run alongside the festival – a series of free practical workshops for postgraduate students, led by a cohort of professionals working in the industry.
RADAR 2015 will see the Bush embrace new artists such as Racheal Ofori and Ben Duke, as well as welcoming returning writers and companies such as Steve Waters, Nassim Soleimanpour and Antler.
Vivienne Acheampong was a semi-finalist in the Funny Women Awards and recently appeared in the critically acclaimed West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
