Reading of Angel
I was asked to write a short 10 minute piece to be performed one day only. It is part of the inspiring theatre project Ho Ho Drama – a daily pop-up Christmas calendar being performed on various locations in Copenhagen throughout December. My piece is called ANGEL and is shown in the Hay4you office, Vimmelskaftet 49, 1. in the heart of the city on December 5th.
The great crew presenting the reading are wonderful actors: Fadime Turan, Layla Torres Mollerup and Amira Jasmina Jensen and director Mikala Bjarnov Lage.
