The Invite is an immersive theatre experience set over one unforgettable night at the pub, where six friends gather to celebrate a birthday. Created especially for Bradford 2025, this funny, heartfelt and honest show blurred the lines between reality and fiction as it explored relationships, memories, fears – and what it truly means to be seen.

Blending music, movement and raw storytelling, The Invite was another unmissable show from Bradford’s brilliant theatre pioneers.
