Skin • Jack Studio Theatre

Skin

written and directed by Peter Todd

produced by Mina Moniri
presented by Scar Theatre

In the prime of her early twenties, Sadie is diagnosed with melanoma. Her quiet life is quickly over-shadowed as she learns to navigate life with a chronic illness: getting poked, prodded and bombarded with questions.

When medical staff are all-too-focused on the physical symptoms, Sadie turns to her sister to rediscover her sense of self beyond a diagnosis. Complete with an immersive sensory MRI experience, SKIN is a bold new play by up-and-coming writer-director, Peter Todd, sharing a candid yet amusing view of Sadie’s experience.

Join Oxford-based production company, Scar Theatre, at the Jack Studio this August for the London premiere of this warm and human journey.

‘‘It reminds you what life is about. It’s not about desk jobs and 9 to 5s and clocking out at the end of the day. It’s about people, it’s about growth and love. It’s about bumble bees and chocolate digestives.’

Press for this production:

‘Skin, a new play by Peter Todd for Scar Theatre, was ambitious, emotional and, above all, a very human portrayal of the absurdity and swiftness of chronic illness… The sound and the stage design is very effective… In a play that handles difficult issues, Skin achieves the important aspect of balancing the story with its challenging subject matter. Ultimately, the cast and crew produce a beautiful, touching play’ ★★★★.5 The Oxford Blue
‘This is what theatre is for.’ Peter Kessler, BAFTA-winning TV Producer
‘Deeply moving and emotionally honest’ Cherwell
