Featuring Pam Ferris, Toby Jones, Joseph Millson, Matti Houghton, Jackson Laing, Nadia Albina, Dermot Daly, Raj Ghatak, Olivier Huband, Alexandra Mathie, and Kirsty Stuart.
The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, in association with Naked Productions and BBC Radio 3 present the world premiere of Sound Stage’s first audio production – Angela, the first autobiographical play by Mark Ravenhill.
Angela centres on Ravenhill’s mother, at the age of 84 and suffering with dementia, as she looks back across her life. Intercutting between Angela in her old age, her memories and mind failing her, and in her youth; growing up, moving away from her roots as the world of drama welcomed her. The Play depicts her struggle with depression and the challenges of her own aspirations, and becoming a mother, poignantly set against Mark’s experience of beginning to learn ballet, his lifelong passion, in his early fifties.
Angela will be the first play in the opening season of Sound Stage – a new online audio theatre venture from Pitlochry Festival Theatre, the Royal Lyceum Theatre and Naked Productions. The season will also feature new plays from Roy Williams, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Jaimini Jethwa, Gary McNair, Lynda Radley, Frances Poet and John Byrne who will premiere his first play in 13 years and a follow up to his acclaimed 1977 debut play Writer’s Cramp
Angela will be on Sound Stage from the 26-28 March
