A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings

The world’s been sad since Tuesday, the child has a fever and is hotter than a fish on a spit. The dog chases its tail, Mother dreams of a new broom and Father gazes out to sea. The whole village is on the brink. Then the sky gets frisky, the sea rears up and, in a bolt of lightning, a very old man with enormous wings crashes to earth in a flurry of feathers.

Nothing will ever be the same again!

Inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story and presented with visual beauty and magic by leading theatre companies, Little Angel Theatre and Kneehigh Theatre. This is a must see show for adults and young people alike, showing a world of ruined beauty and magic reality where everyone dreams of their five minutes of fame and riches.
