Overview

I guess it starts with wanting to become a different person. Invasive Species is a dark comedy and true story about Maia, an immigrant actor who will stop at nothing to achieve her dream of being in the American movies, even if that means having to act her way out of a youth psychiatric ward. Named one of the best cultural works of the year by The Hollywood Reporter, Maia Novi's New York cult hit is a ""thrill ride that lands like a high-stakes fever dream"". This edition was published to coincide with the strictly limited London run at the King's Head Theatre in September 2025, and features a foreword by Tony Award-nominated playwright Jeremy O. Harris (Slave Play, Yell).
