About this show
Invasion, a bold multimedia spectacle from Philippine Theatre UK’s 23rd anniversary season, leaps across time – from the tense streets of 1940s Manila to the quiet corners of modern-day Oxford. Three mischievous spirits, a teacher, a lawyer and a nun crash into the present, pulling audiences into a haunting yet humorous journey blending horror, drama, comedy, music, film and history. At its heart is a stark look at Imperial Japan’s wartime atrocities, including the silenced suffering of Comfort Women. Guided by award-winning writer-director Ramon C. Teñoso, JoMarZeb explores memory, faith, loyalty and the lingering shadows of colonial trauma.
