Eavesdropping Again
In October 2018, we produced Eavesdropping Again, the third instalment of our 'Eavesdropping' projects.
In July 2016 Angel Theatre Company created Eavesdropping - a unique piece of verbatim theatre! Unlike most plays which are either scripted or devised, Eavesdropping was different in that it was neither! The piece was created by our company of actors who spent several weeks covertly recording real people engaged in genuine conversations. These recordings were then scripted, explored and reinterpreted through rehearsal to find their dramatic potential. Each vignette became a miniature work of art, offering the audience a great insight into the world around us. It proved to be a more honest, poignant, funny and genuine reflection of society than most conventionally written plays could hope to be! The show was so successful, we decided to repeat the project and created More Eavesdropping in January 2017. Again, the unique concept proved to be so popular that the entire run of the production sold out.
Following the same formula as its predecessor projects, we created a new social commentary, reflecting the attitudes and opinions of those living their lives in and around London.
