Legendary west London venue Riverside Studios reopens with Paul Schoolman's stage adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1966 film about a renowned stage actress who recovers from a psychological breakdown at a remote summer beach house in the company of a nurse. Persona stars singer-songwriter Nobuhle Mngcwengi who appears as patient Elizabet opposite Olivier winner Alice Krige as Sister Alma while renowned installation artist and musician William Close plays the Earth Harp - the largest stringed instrument in the world. The harp's strings span out over the audience "turning the theatre into the instrument and wrapping the audience in its magical sound" - actress Alice Krige told Emma Clarendon writing on Love London Love Culture.
