Invasive Species

🎭 Invasive Species London — The Viral Off-Broadway Hit Comes to the West End!

Get ready, London: the smash New York sensation Invasive Species is crossing the Atlantic for a strictly limited 5-week run at the King’s Head Theatre — and this is your chance to experience the dark comedy everyone’s been talking about.

🌎 What’s Invasive Species About?

Meet Maia, an immigrant actor with a relentless drive to make it in Hollywood. But when she finds herself trapped in a youth psychiatric ward, her greatest role may be playing herself — and lying her way out.

Based on Maia Novi’s true story, Invasive Species is a dark, razor-sharp comedy about ambition, survival, identity, and the blurry line between truth and performance. It’s a raw, funny, and deeply human portrait of what people will do to chase a dream.
