The Invite
Mind the Gap’s new theatre experience invites you to a surprise party with music, movement… and cake.
About the Show
Mind the Gap throws a surprise birthday party for a guest of honour who wants nothing more than to disappear.
The Invite is an immersive theatre experience set over one unforgettable night at the pub, where six friends gather to celebrate a birthday. Created especially for Bradford 2025, this funny, heartfelt and honest show blurs the lines between reality and fiction as it explores relationships, memories, fears – and what it truly means to be seen.
Across six sold-out performances at The Beacon, The Invite attracted a diverse audience of local residents, families, and regular theatregoers, many of whom described it as “unique”, “beautifully inclusive”, and “unlike anything they’d ever experienced before.”
Cast: Cara Bussey, Alan Clay, Theo Griffiths, JoAnne Haines, Charlotte Jones and Jake Thow.
