The Lowry is to present the premiere of the new production ‘FADE’ by artist Alice Christina-Corrigan this April.
The premiere will run from Thursday April 4 – April 5 at the venue in MediaCity, Salford.
The plot follows the estranged siblings Cassie and Rubin who re-unite after their mother’s death. As they begin packing up furniture and keepsakes, they start unpacking their life.
FADE is a tale of sibling allyship, and how far we are willing to go to protect each other.
Alice Christina Corrigan, writer and Creative Access Director said: “FADE is about the depth of sibling allyship and the role our siblings play in moulding our lives. It’s about the comforting silences and the uncomfortable reflection they are capable of showing you.
FADE is a harrowing tale of how one decision can alter the trajectory of that relationship forever. As much as the play doesn’t reflect my life, FADE is dedicated to my brother. My accidental twin.”
Alice Christina-Corrigan is a visually impaired & neurodivergent actor, writer and creative access director based in Manchester. Created by a disabled-led team, with FADE Alice is focused on securing disability representation through all elements of the production with access embedded into every decision-making process.
FADE will feature Lauren-Nicole Mayes as Cassie (Coronation Street, ITV), Matthew Devlin as Rubin ( Little Boy Blue, ITV) Daneka Etchells as 2010 Cassie (The Safe Zone, DADA Fest) and Stefan Race as 2010 Rubin ( Netflix; Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Warner Bros).
Antonia Beck, Senior Producer: Artist Development, The Lowry said:”It has been such a joy to work with Alice over the past 18-months through our Developed With programme, and we have been delighted to provide a sustained level of support which has enabled Alice to take this significant next step in her career.
As an artist and cultural changemaker Alice really is a powerhouse, pioneering an innovative, accessible, and vital approach to making live performance. We are really proud of what Alice has achieved and we can’t wait for audiences to experience this exciting new work.”
