Two miles north of hell, a nameless deadbeat narrator spots Satan buying soy milk at the 7-Eleven. Satan’s a washed-up-has-been who’s totally lost his edge… until he falls in love with our narrator and the two embark on a debauched misadventure: slapstick, violent, whimsical, dreamlike, tender.
This London premiere follows a sneak preview at last Edinburgh Fringe by invitation of Francesca Moody Productions (Fleabag, Baby Reindeer).
‘What a f*cking genius’
I SAW SATAN AT THE 7-ELEVEN was seed commissioned by Fremantle and English Touring Theatre for “That Podcast”. Special thanks to George Spender.
