Directed by Dario Knight
Produced by Unbound
A new production of James Kenworth’s acclaimed play about outsider artist Madge Gill.
Madge Gill (1882-1961) was one of the foremost British Outsider artists. She felt an instinctive compulsion to create, resulting in an outpouring that flowed effortlessly and spontaneously from an altered state of consciousness. Working under the control of Myrninerest, her spirit guide, Madge Gill’s art remains an enigma.
Myrninterest: The Outside Life of Madge Gill is the sixth instalment in The Newham Plays, a critically acclaimed series of site-specific, localist-driven plays shows rooted in Newham’s history, culture, and people. Created and written by James Kenworth, the plays are a unique collaboration between a professional creative team working alongside young actors from local youth groups/theatres.
This special production is presented by QPAC’s in-house storytelling company, Unbound, by kind arrangement with the Newham Plays.
