The original multi-verse story, SHADOWLESS is a thrilling adventure story, featuring a girl artist and a master female shaman who becomes her mentor…and tormentor: inspired by the diaries of women working with Carlos Castaneda, whose books about their group have sold more than 8 million copies worldwide and published in 17 languages. The production blends stage performance with film sequences as the girl navigates her shaman apprenticeship, isolated in a Mexican farm house in the Badlands. What begins as a mystical adventure quickly descends into a nightmarish existence where the boundaries of reality become blurred between waking and dreaming.

Starring award winning actor Emily Carding "One of the UK's leading Shakespearean actors" The Stage  Writer Director Susan Luciani creates the show as a thrill ride, full of twists and turns and scares in an exploration of Womanhood, power play and the realm of the Unexplained."

"Shadowless is set in the crucible of the feminist movement of the 70s. When I read the diaries of the women involved it shocked me how their experience resonates so loudly in our times. This is the play I wish I could have seen when I first went out into the world as a young woman. Bring your sisterhood, your daughters, your male allies to this story quest to discover a limitless reality only few have dared to explore!" Susan Luciani
