Freddie Jones in Gogol by RICHARD CRANE
'It's the worst winter on record... Every Sunday I sit down in my coat and talk to myself non-stop for five minutes...'
An electricity board clerk comes up with a plan for saving the world from winding down. Noses roam the streets. Coats make you grow an inch every day. God is put away - he's too unpredictable. Numbers take over. This monologue, inspired by Russia's strangest prose-poet, Nikolay Gogol, charts the breakthrough and breakdown of the 'little man' in our time.
Music composed and played by NICK BICAT
Directed by ALFRED BRADLEY
