Undercovered – The Show

We’re aware there isn't really anywhere that all the information on the show is all in one place, and with the rehearsal process on the verge of going all out, we thought this would be a good time to get this information out there.


Undercovered is the Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL) Drama Society's most recent physical theatre production, headed to the Edinburgh Fringe 2012.

So, the synopsis:

Based on the true story of Mark Kennedy, Undercovered uses physical theatre and media interaction to question identity misrepresentation. The main thread of the story follows Kennedy’s alias Mark Stone, an undercover cop assigned to a group of environmental activists. Working with the protestors for seven years Mark made close friendships and embarked on a serious relationship with one of the activists, simultaneously estranging his wife and kids. The proceeding events of Mark’s life affected him forever and are still being closely looked at by police and investigators to fully understand what happened. Overlaying this narrative are scenes that present other cases of alternate identities, these include con artist and imposter, Christophe Rocancourt; Dwayne Wilson, a convicted murderer diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and David Pollard and Linda Brinkley’s online marriage-divorce case. With the fluidity of movement being intrinsic to our desired effect we intend to use techniques of dance and ensemble to create an alternative piece of theatre that comments on the misrepresentation of identity whilst sharing a gripping story we were instantly intrigued by.
