Following their successful run in Manchester, Angels With Dirty Accents is coming to The Cockpit in January 2018.
With an immersive set, a cast of eleven, some bizarre characters, moments of naturalistic dialogue and complete absurdism, undercut by well known and ‘heavenly’ songs, this promises to be a unique theatre experience.
The show centres on the lives of angels. Penniless, hopeless, and sleeping rough in our city centres. Ignored by passers-by, and waiting for their chance to get into heaven. But waiting is a hard game to play. Especially when heaven has tightened its immigration policy and the streets have begun to offer so much temptation.
‘They are everywhere… they infect our streets like lice. A disease that scurries around our bins and alleyways. Spreading fear, crime and anarchy on an unprecedented scale. Looming in shanty towns on the fringes of society, they provide a putrid eyesore to our otherwise dazzling metropolis. Our citizens live in fear; trapped patrons and long suffering pioneers of democracy. Constantly being pestered and heckled by filth ridden renegades of our communities. Drop outs, losers, perverts and paedophiles… I am of course, talking about angels’
An original show by R.KID productions, this ‘bonkers’ play takes a look at the state of homelessness, modern society, religion and morality with an angry and honest voice – an absurd black comedy featuring live music.
Angels with Dirty Accents is at The Cockpit Theatre 31st January – 17th February 2018.
