by Nikhil Parmar
Meet Zayan, an under-employed actor and over-employed dealer who sees himself as the hapless lead in the sitcom that is his life. Everyone else sees him as lazy, self-centred, and useless – if they even notice him at all.
As Zayan attempts to transition from being neglected to being notorious, we see how a man whose brushes with oppression, grief, and the sneaking suspicion that he’s become invisible have driven him to the unforgivable.
INVISIBLE is a hilariously dark story tracking one man’s desperate struggle to be seen as the hero of his own narrative.
INVISIBLE by Nikhil Parmar was originally commissioned and produced at the Bush Theatre (27th June - 16th July 2022), performed by Nikhil Parmar, directed by Georgia Green. This non-decor performance has been granted by kind permission of the Bush Theatre.
Contains strong language, refereneces to drug dealing, themes of racism and bullying. Suitable for ages 14+
