Sparrow is about to interview for a position at the ministry. If successful, he’ll attend the Government Ball at the Feather Palace, where singing sensation Chirpy Canary will perform. He’s one step away from infiltrating this oppressive regime, hoping to make a change. Fox, a wanted rebel, and Sparrow’s most trusted ally, breaks in to visit him ahead of his final test. After three gruelling months apart, they have both changed. As each attempt to convince the other of their plan, they become more and more estranged. How can they find intimacy when all else is lost? How can they communicate emotion and authenticity in a world of violence and divisiveness? Endure or confront?

Restless Successors are a new theatre company founded by Writer and Dramaturg Natalia Riga and Composer and Sound Designer Peter Buffery.

Fox and Sparrow is one of two debut projects. You can also catch Moving On, opening in the Museum, on the Thursday.

Nat and Pete: “We’re excited to bring some work of our own to the festival after years of participating in other capacities. We’ll be volunteering too – come and find us if you’d like to chat! We’ll most likely be at St Anne’s.”
