RUN, REBEL

By Manjeet Mann

I am strength

I am power

I am courage

I am revolution

I am Amber Rai

Amber is trapped – by her family’s rules, by their expectations, by her own fears. But on the running track she is completely free. As her body speeds up, the world slows down. And the tangled, mixed up lines in her head get s t r a i g h t e r . . .

It’s time to start a revolution: for her mother, for her sister, for herself.

Run, Amber. Run.

Run, Rebel is a world premiere adaptation of Manjeet Mann’s celebrated novel. Following the acclaimed productions of Noughts and Crosses, Crongton Knights and The Bone Sparrow, Pilot Theatre brings another spellbinding adaptation of the very best recent young adult fiction to the stage. Combining physical theatre and mesmerising visuals, and performed by a multi-talented ensemble, this promises to be another landmark co-production made especially for audiences of 11+.

Co-produced with Mercury Theatre Colchester, Belgrade Theatre Coventry, Derby Theatre and York Theatre Royal.
