About Angela
Angela - an autobiography by leading dramatist Mark Ravenhill - will be the first of eight new plays delivered in our brand-new audio-digital platform with The Lyceum, and Naked Productions, and directed by Sony Award-winning Polly Thomas. The play centres on the playwright’s mother, at the age of 84 and suffering with dementia, as she looks back across her life. Intercutting between Angela in her old age, her memories and mind failing her, and in her youth - growing up, moving away from her roots as the world of drama welcomed her - the Play depicts her struggle with depression and the challenges of her own aspirations, and becoming a mother: poignantly set against Mark’s experience of beginning to learn ballet, his lifelong passion, in his fifties.
