Umbra
by Tobias Cornwell
Across a dark evening, fragile lives crumble. Virgil’s eyes begin to wander, Dante fights his personal demons, Christian Shaw takes a regrettable offer from a suspicious visitor and Jethro is swearing by the healing powers of peas. All the while Jesse wants to host a party.
Set within the dramatically crumbling walls of Poltimore House, a dynamic cast of nine actors took on this deeply layered story, inspired by Woyzeck and Dante’s Inferno. Performed to an original musical score, with no speech, Get Out Of My Space’s largest immersive production to date completed a sold-out run and transported its audiences into a world of darkness and sorrow.
