Magnetic North: We Will Hear The Angels

What happens when all you want to do is sing the blues and someone hands you a microphone?

Four lonely people are trying to work out how they’ll ever get over the pain in their hearts. Sitting at home in silence isn’t working, and nobody seems to want to hear their stories. Maybe the mysterious Lou can help them. We Will Hear the Angels explores the strange state of melancholy through words, movement and music. Performed in the atmospheric Warehouse at the Fruitmarket by a group of five actor-musicians, it features music by Hank Williams, Orange Juice, Etta James and J.S.Bach among others.
