We Will Hear The Angels

Edinburgh 2026

Stunned by the revelation of her husband's infidelity, Bea feels heartbroken and alone. If only she knew that her neighbours, Sonia, Van and Ian, were each also trying to get over the pain in their hearts, unable to articulate how they feel. Maybe the mysterious Lou can help them? A poignant and uplifting celebration of the power of sad music: 'a subtle and intelligent combination of words, movement and music' (Stage). Performed by five actor-musicians, including the music of Hank Williams, Orange Juice, Etta James, JS Bach and more.
