Maia Novi’s semi-autobiographical play Invasive Species will have its UK premiere at King’s Head Theatre, with Novi returning to the lead role after its hit Off-Broadway run.
Maia will stop at nothing to be in the American movies, even if it means losing her mind. Following the journey of an Argentinean actor as she tests the limits of her American dream, Invasive Species is an outrageous dark comedy about how immigrating to the US maybe the role of a lifetime.
Produced by Folk Productions, Invasive Specials ran at The Vineyard’s Dimson Theatre in 2024, drawing attentino for its discussion of immigration, identity politics and mental health.
Directed by Michael Breslin, it now comes to King’s Head Theatre from September 5, 2025, with previews from September 3, and runs until October 3.
