INSIDE Leg Productions proudly announces the World Première
of Identity Panic - a new play by up-and-coming Finnish
playwright, Mikko Isomäki.
Identity Panic is a film noir influenced comedy set in
Los Angeles about crime and its inevitable consequences.
The action takes place in the dishevelled flat of two unemployed
drifters who, in a desperate attempt to free themselves from their
penury, have decided to turn to crime.
But things soon start to go wrong with the arrival of fellow
potential-felon and gang member Sam Cady, a fantastically spaced
out and dysfunctional pseudo-artist who unwittingly manages to
discombobulate everyone and everything.

The panic that follows becomes a state of mind where truth and
falsity become almost indistinguishable.
In drawing from the work of Chandler, Hemingway and the Coen
Brothers, Isomäki has created a terrifically zany, perplexing
and original play with an intimate, filmic feel.
In addition to writing plays, Mikko Isomäki is also a prize-winning
poet.
Sebastian Hume has directed both nationally and abroad. His work
includes: Waiting for Godot (2002), Richard III
(2000), An Inspector Calls (1999), Journey's End
(1998). A Midsummer Summer Night's Dream (1998).
Identity Panic written by Mikko Isomäki, Directed by
Sebastian Hume, Produced by Arnd Federspiel at The Greenwich Playhouse,
Station Forecourt, Greenwich High Road, Greenwich SE10 until November
16 at 7.45pm. Tickets 020 8858 9256
