The Scene X Camden Fringe - Wilder!

Wilder! is a fast-paced, absurd dark comedy; think Desperate Housewives meets The Play That Goes Wrong meets Bonnie and Clyde.“Set in a town fiercely ruled by its housewives, the story follows Gloria and Gregory Wilder, a glamorous young couple who seem to have it all. But beneath their picture-perfect life lies a deadly secret, one that could cost them everything. As they navigate the highs and lows of marriage, the Wilders must outwit nosy neighbours, gossip-fuelled streets, and an endless barrage of garden club invitations. In a community where appearances are everything, staying unnoticed may be their greatest challenge of all.”Wilder! is written and produced by Thomas Billiouw & Dany Van Brabant who also play the leads of Gregory and Gloria Wilder. The rest of the cast includes Evie Weldon as Martha Hoover, Jess-Vince Moin as Phyllis Amberhide, and Kgalalelo Thakadu as Sheryl-Anne Bowman. The production is directed by Jillian Osborne, with fight choreography by Becca Watkin, Amy Marsden as set designer, Ella Shaw as cultural consultant. We're a very international cast & crew with members from Wales, Ireland, Belgium, Botswana, the U.S., and Australia. That mix is reflected in the play itself, since it’s set in a town that isn’t tied to any one physical place. It’s an idyllic suburb that could exist anywhere, reflecting our natural mix of accents. This piece focuses on giving audiences a genuinely good time, combining playful staging with juicy, character-driven chaos, and plenty of twists and turns along the way. With Wilder!, we aim to create a show that surprises, entertains, and leaves audiences giggling, gasping, and gossiping all the way home.
