This workshop takes place in person in our New Committee Room
Lania Hamilton presents a workshop of her second play, Angel (Work-In-Progress).
“I watched an angel die on the hill.”
The fever of late June. Something writhing in linen and long grass.
In witness of a small apocalypse, a make-shift ritual is performed: Tennessee Williams, a wallet’s magazine cut-outs, second-hand desire, and transcendence is met by failing technologies of memory.
A live rehearsal with four performers and Hamilton herself, the workshop organically cycles through heritage readings and new writing, presenting a repository of electronic desire and anxiety.

This event will be Relaxed. We invite you to make yourself comfortable and move around if you need to and if you need to leave the space at any point you will be allowed to return to the space when you feel ready.
We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.
We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.
Tickets for Homegrown Festival performances in 2026 start at £3, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.
We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.
