Fox and Sparrow by Restless Successors

Fri 13 Sep

An original political thriller, about change, love and betrayal. 

Sparrow is about to interview for a position at the ministry. If successful, he’ll attend the Government Ball at the Feather Palace, where singing sensation Chirpy Canary will perform. He’s one step away from infiltrating this oppressive regime, hoping to make a change. Fox, a wanted rebel, and Sparrow’s most trusted ally, breaks in to visit him ahead of his final test. After three gruelling months apart, they have both changed.  

As each attempt to convince the other of their plan, they become more and more estranged. How can they find intimacy when all else is lost? How can they communicate emotion and authenticity in a world of violence and divisiveness? Endure or confront?  

“…a whole world has been created and it is rich and complex which, combined with excellent performances and a stylish set, makes the whole production feel well-established and sleek.” Review by Jo Fisher, TheatreFest 2024. 

Based between North Devon and London, Restless Successors are a new theatre company founded by Writer and Dramaturg Natalia Riga and Composer and Sound Designer Peter Buffery, presenting original plays and installations.
