We are delighted to announce that our critically acclaimed production of "Feel" returns for a brand new run of performances kicking off at the Space Arts Centre, London in February 2019. In addition, we're thrilled to also announce the return of "Feel More" to accompany the London performances of the main show.
"Feel More" is our "expanded universe" of stories and sees six writers create six brand new characters from the world of "Feel" with material, storylines and influences drawn from the main production written by James Lewis.
"Feel" received its London debut at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in March of 2018 with performances at the King's Head Theatre, London, Hertford Theatre and the Albany Theatre, Coventry. "Feel More" was performed at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Theatre N16 (as "More Feel") and the King's Head Theatre, London.
