In September, Deadpan Theatre's seventh production will open at The Cockpit Theatre in Marylebone - GATE by Artemis Fitzalan Howard. 

“I mean… I sort of hoped the pearly gates story was true-ish where I could finally have curly hair and be into fitness and classical music and eat Philadelphia toast in the clouds with my other angel pals. But now I’m here and this is - I’m questioning everything I ever believed in.”

In GATE, Fitzalan Howard challenges the theories of the great ‘thinkers’: when evolutionists tell us that we’re just trying to spread our genes, economists tell us that all we do is maximize our self-interest, and psychologists tell us that we just want to get laid, is it true that we only act on narrow material desires or do our wider spiritual beliefs still count for something?

GATE will be directed by Sadie Spencer and designed by Alex Berry. Cast TBC
