Angela
a Darkly Funny Journey through Innocence and Disillusionment.
written by Charlotte Small

Alphabetti’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.
