Mycelium Theatre Company, co-founded by the director Hope Wishart (LAMDA MA Directing graduate) and the designer Enza Kim (Wimbledon College of Arts BA and RWCMD MA Design for Performance graduate), is proudly presenting our first new devised production, A Microscopic Odyssey, at the Golden Goose Theatre on Tuesday 13th, Thursday 15th, Friday 16th, and Saturday 17th of January at 8 pm.
Mycelium Theatre Company today releases the first look at the new devising theatre performance, A Microscopic Odyssey. Mycelium Theatre Company was founded by director Hope Wishart (LAMDA MA Directing graduate) and designer Enza Kim (Wimbledon College of Arts BA and RWCMD MA Design for Performance graduate).
A Microscopic Odyssey tells the true story of microbiologist James Weiss, who discovers unexpected solace and inspiration in something as humble as a muddy puddle. Through his lens, the everyday becomes extraordinary, revealing a vibrant hidden universe teeming with life.
This imaginative new production invites audiences to experience science not as a set of dry facts, but as a source of awe, creativity, and connection. By venturing into the microcosmos, A Microscopic Odyssey reminds us that we are not separate from nature—we are part of a vast, intricate web, much of it too small for the naked eye to see.
“The way Mycelium Theatre Company embraced low-tech storytelling felt both inventive and liberating – there was something wonderfully direct about the means of expression, yet always full of theatrical surprise.”
Mark O’Thomas, Principal and Chief Executive Officer, LAMDA
Director Hope Wishart collaboratively created with designer Enza Kim, lighting designer Jason Ahn, composers and sound designers Caleb Wilton and Charlie Jones, movement director Bianca Mikahil, assistant director Arista Abbabatulla, and producer Amelia Shelmerdine.
The cast includes Ben Boulton-Jones (James Weiss), Allie-Rae Fossum (Ensemble), Elijah Bai Bangura (Ensemble), and Phoebe Smyth (Ensemble).
