7 friends are in the frame for murder and the police are closing in.
They must clear their name and in order to do so, they’ve enlisted the most unlikely of help.
As the pressure mounts, friends become suspects and the experience changes them all.
This funny, dark whodunnit will take you on an unexpected journey; with jokes, sex, songs, crimes, plot twists and a comeuppance.
Developed collaboratively over 5 years by Access All Areas’ learning disabled and autistic Associate Artists: Kirsty Adams, Cian Binchy, Housni Hassan (DJ), Dayo Koleosho, Stephanie Newman, Lee Phillips and Charlene Salter alongside writer, Molly Davies and director, Hamish Pirie, Imposter 22 is a playful account of navigating barriers, neurodiversity and the power of sharing a platform.
Written by Molly Davies.
Co-created with Kirsty Adams, Cian Binchy, Housni Hassan (DJ), Dayo Koleosho, Stephanie Newman, Lee Phillips and Charlene Salter.
From an original idea by Hamish Pirie.
