INTRUDER is a solo-play, written/performed by actor, Remi Rachuba.

Following his dream, Remi moves to Scotland to become an actor. An ugly and vicious attack almost ruins his life…

The recipient of the 2023 VAULT Festival Pick of Summerhall Award, shortlisted for Adrian Pagan Playwriting Award at the King’s Head Theatre, and in the final shortlist in the BBC Writersroom Drama

“Rachuba’s writing is heart-wrenching, unique and brutal. With elements of black humour and clever twists, the play keeps the audience transfixed, to witness a moving portrayal of acceptance and the ultimate forgiveness”.

The play is supported by Arts Council England.
