Vita Nova presents

Heath

Thu 14 Nov 2024

A brand new production for Vita Nova, Heath is a departure from their usual educational theatre work, but one that still explores issues around addiction.

Taking its inspiration from Shakespeare’s King Lear and the central notion of losing everything to discover the truth about yourself, Heath echoes Lear’s trauma induced on this occasion by addiction, hitting rock bottom and the subsequent recognition of the insanity of drug and alcohol misuse.

The cast brings a fresh take to a timeless theme, exploring how hope and redemption can still be found in the darkest moments. Join them for a thought-provoking performance that deep-dives into the struggles of addiction and the journey to self-discovery.

Drawing on Shakespeare’s King Lear and funded by Arts Council England, the play takes Vita Nova in a brand new direction professionally and as a theatre company.
