Transferring from the Edinburgh Fringe after a successful run and an OffFest nomination, Alison Skilbeck’s Uncommon Ground is about six wildly different people, coping and connecting during one year on the Common. It relates their unexpected tales of love, life, death and downright dottiness, while a seventh character lurks mysteriously.
Partly inspired by glimpses of people Skilbeck saw on her daily walk on Clapham Common during Lockdown, the play is a response to the feeling of isolation during COVID and the search for connectedness. Directed by Gareth Armstrong, with music by composer Simon Slater (Constellations, Royal Court/West End/Broadway), Alison Skilbeck’s Uncommon Ground reflects on the human need for the solace of nature, for healing laughter and silliness, and for love in all its forms surviving.

Critically acclaimed throughout her acting career, her theatre work has taken her from Ayckbourn premieres in Scarborough, to London’s West End, to touring Shakespeare all round America. Television includes Sherlock Holmes, The Beiderbecke Affair, Miss Marple, Head Over Heels, Soldier Soldier, New Tricks,
