Invasion (Jomarzeb)

A bold, multi-media spectacle from Philippine Theatre UK on its 23rd anniversary, INVASION (JoMarZeb) leaps across time—from the anxious streets of 1940s Manila to the quiet corners of modern-day Oxford.

Three mischievous child-like ghosts, a teacher, a lawyer and a nun, crash into the present, pulling audiences into a haunting, humorous, and deeply moving human journey that blends horror, drama, comedy, music, film and history.At its core it lies a horrifying look at the atrocities of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, including the silenced suffering of the Comfort Women.

Through a mix of historical truth and imaginative storytelling, the play reveals unlikely friendships, rock-solid resilience and the way unresolved justice echoes across generations.Helmed by award-winning writer and director Ramon C.

Teñoso, JoMarZeb confronts memory, faith, loyalty, and the shadows of colonial trauma—reminding us that the past never really go... and sometimes, it follows us home.
