Angels in Erotica is the world's first ever religious-fantasy-romantic-satirical-absurdist-post-modernist-sex comedy! It follows the story of Rachel, an erotica writer who is chosen by God to be his next prophet. She goes on a wild adventure through her fantasy world of Majesterion, being courted by her two ideal lovers; the tortured poet Moody Blues, and the virile bear-hunter Edwardio. However, God's angel Cupid seeks a return to the Old Testament days of fire and brimstone, and is willing to summon dark forces to get her way...
Angels in Erotica had a sell-out run and was heavily praised by professional judges at this year’s Durham Drama Festival. It will be performed at a professional venue (The Space @ Surgeons Hall) for 2 weeks of the Edinburgh Fringe, a fantastic achievement for a student production. This project requires a serious financial commitment and whilst we're not going to let this stop us from putting on this play, without your support it will be extremely difficult.
PTC, formerly known as Fountains Theatre Company, is Grey College's very own theatre company. We aim to put on incredible shows that allow our members to realise their creative potential.
We've put on many high-quality and successful productions over the years, including William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and David Mamet's American Buffalo.
However, performing at the Edinburgh Fringe would be a first for the company and a unique opportunity for our members to be part of the largest arts festival in the world!
You'll be supporting:
Also, as an added bonus, every penny you give us up to £500 will be matched. This is due to the generosity of the Grey Trust and it means your money will go twice as far! So if you're passionate about any of the above, or just want to see sexy topless men on stage, then please donate to Angels in Erotica !
Putting on a show at the Edinburgh Fringe is an expensive task, and we are but poor students. Having recently reformed, PTC doesn't have huge resources at present, so we need all the help we can get! Our campaign will continue right the way through our run and we will provide updates of how the show's going, and tell you about everything your generosity is supporting.
Here is what your money will be going towards:
You can keep up with how the show's going through our social media, where we'll share blog posts, photos of the casts and much more!
