INTRUDER: ALAN DAVIES AND NIKKI AMUKA-BIRD LEAD CAST OF NEW PLAY FOR TODAY DRAMA

Inspired by the iconic Play for Today format, each production will champion new voices and focus on bringing low-income talent into the spotlight behind the scenes in writing, directing and production roles. 

Intruder

A real-time, single-location psychological thriller with the tension of a ticking bomb. Lenny Bray was once a national treasure - now he’s just a man in a mansion, hiding from headlines and haunted by whispers. But when a young man shows up at his door late one night—barefoot, bleeding, and carrying a story Lenny hoped was buried—everything unravels.

Across one harrowing night, Lenny and his wife Maggie must confront a stranger’s explosive accusations—and their own complicity in a past steeped in power, silence, and manipulation. Darkly comic and emotionally raw, this is a story about guilt, truth, and what happens when survivors come knocking.

Alan Davies (McDonald & Dodds, Flack, Jonathan Creek) and Nikki Amuka-Bird (I, Jack Wright, Knock at the Cabin) will star as husband and wife Lenny and Maggie with newcomer Logan Mersh as Ben.

Production has begun across all titles with the first drama set to air on 5 at the end of the 2025.
