OVERRIDE and VIRGIN at Watford Palace Theatre

Stacey Gregg's new play OVERRIDE opens today as part of Watford Palace Theatre's IDEAL WORLD season.

As each day passes, it is becoming increasingly normal to use technology to erase imperfection and disabilities.

Far from the city, one young couple are retreating from human augmentation, going back to basics, and looking forward to the natural birth of their first baby. But one of them has a secret that threatens to undermine their perfect world.

Directed by Selina Cartmell, with lighting design by Colin Grenfell and video design by Duncan McLean, OVERRIDE stars Matti Houghton as Violet and Geoffrey Bretton as Mark.  Stacey Gregg is a Creative Associate at Watford Palace.

Also playing as part of the season is E V Crowe’s VIRGIN, which opened last week.

Emily, a busy working mother and commuter, can't wait for broadband to reach her remote country farmhouse. When ambitious young Sally arrives to work with her on the project, she's invited to stay. But being connected means different things to these two generations of women, and Emily finds her ideas of friendship and privacy tested to the limit ...

VIRGIN also has lighting design by Colin Grenfell and video design by Duncan McLean

OVERRIDE and VIRGIN play in rep until 19th October (tickets available via the links).
