Hedwig And The Angry Inch - 2004

Written by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask
Directed by John Lynch
Produced by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd

Brighthelm Centre, Brighton Festival: 13 April to 15th May 2004
Venue 231, Edinburgh Fringe Festival: 6th to 14th August 2004

An everyday tale of gummi bears, flying tomatoes, a botched penectomy and the Platonic notion that sex is the human effort to reconnect two halves of our original whole.

Rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rocking ride, funny, touching, emotionally draining and eventually inspiring to anyone who feels that life has given them an inch when they deserved a mile....

One brutally honest musical theatre experience to startle your soul.

Reviews

"Five stars just doesn't do it justice" - Critics Choice week 1 Edinburgh Festival 2004

"Feel like going on the ride of your life? This is it!" - The Insight

"The star attraction of this years Festival" - Attitude

"This white-hot home grown production is so fierce it rips the tits off the original Broadway show"- QX

"At the end the audience was dancing in the aisles and even on the stage - not bad for a British audience on a Wednesday night" - The Argus

"More blackly tragi-comic than a jar of poisoned marmite" - Edinburgh Extra

Audience comments

"More of a professional production than a fringe performance - the voices, costumes, band and rock concert sound could all have come straight from the West End"

"I came expecting run of the mill fringe theatre and you gave me better than Broadway"

"More than words is what's needed to describle this electifying production. I was spell bound for the whole two hours, the standing ovation was richly deserved. 5 stars doesn't do it justice"

"The acting, sound, lighting, costumes - in fact everything about it just blew me away"

"You deserve to be in the West End. What is the likely future of your show? Don’t let it end!"
