Angry
producer
A spaceship hurtles towards a black hole. A book-loving couple flee a burning city. A bloodshot eye conjures up kisses and wild animals. The world premiere of Philip Ridley’s Angry is a menacing, magical, and darkly comedic collection of stories that vibrate with the lingering unease of our times.
Georgie Henley (The Chronicles of Narnia) will be joined by Olivier Award nominee Tyrone Huntley (Jesus Christ Superstar, Dreamgirls, Book of Mormon), to perform the series of six gender-neutral monologues on subjects as diverse as refugees, millennial anger, and interstellar travel.
Philip wrote the monologues to be gender-neutral, and Angry explores the difference between the same experience from a man and a women’s perspective. Both actors will learn all six monologues and both will perform every night, but who performs each monologue will alternate from night to night.
There are two versions of the show which alternate: “She follows Him” in which monologues 2, 4, and 6 are performed by the “Her” (and the others by “Him”) and “He follows Her” in which monologues 2, 4, and 6 are performed by “Him.”
