A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS
29 JAN - 2 FEB 2013
A Little Angel Production in association with Kneehigh.
The world's been sad since Tuesday, the child has a fever and is hotter than a fish on a spit.
The dog chases its tail, Mother dreams of a new broom and Father gazes out to sea. The whole village is on the brink.
Then the sky gets frisky, the sea rears up and, in a bolt of lightning, a very old man with enormous wings crashes to earth in a flurry of feathers. Nothing will ever be the same again!
Inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez's story this is a startling world of ruined beauty and magic reality where everyone dreams of their five minutes of fame and riches, and the extraordinary takes flight.
A Kneehigh creative team, led by Mike Shepherd, combine forces with the Little Angel's founding family - Lyndie, Sarah and Joe Wright - to celebrate Little Angel's 50th anniversary year with a beautiful, brave and always entertaining new show.
For anyone age 6 and over who believes that an old man might fly.

CAST
The Stage
A dizzyingly creative combination that delivers a show so rich and fulsome it’s hard to believe it takes place on this small stage… Bursting with visual inventiveness and performed with exquisite skill.
The Guardian
'a quietly charming and visually ravishing affair'
