Angela by Charlotte Small

Angelaa Darkly Funny Journey through Innocence and Disillusionment.written by Charlotte SmallAlphabetti’s Autumn 2023 season continues with a debut show from local writer, Charlotte Small. Girl-guides, talking eggcups and wildlife disposal, Angela promises to be one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories to debut at the Award-Winning Fringe Venue. Angela is a play for everyone who has ever felt like a no one. She wants more than she has and commits one and a half hours per week volunteering as a Guide Leader to try and get it. And even when she fails, and fails again, she keeps going, and keeps us going with her.The play builds on its origins as a 2023 Winner of Alphabetti’s Response Writing programme. Angela will be contributing to a decade’s old tradition of new writing created and nurtured by Alphabetti in the North East. It promises a hilarious, heart wrenching yet uplifting tale of talking eggcups, a beatboxing Spiderman, and finding your power when you feel powerless.Writer: Charlotte Small (she/her)Director: Ruth Mary Johnson (she/her)Performer: Rebecca Glendenning-Laycock (she/they)Sound Designer: Calum Howard (he/him)Dramaturg: Tamsin Rees (they/them)Producer: Gina Ruffin (she/her)Stage Manager: Hannah Richardson (she/her) Technical Coordination: Chris Foley Audio recording, adaptation and editing: Matt JamieClosing Music: Jahzzar (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/ - used under CC license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)Production Company: Alphabetti Theatre
