The Sphinx and pyramid exterior of Las Vegas’ Luxor Hotel dominates a dream landscape in which ten disparate yet interconnected lives open up before us. In a fantasia reminiscent of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, we witness the lives of a female impersonator, a Ku Klux Klan member with an urge to broaden his mind, a pawnshop employee who wants to be a brilliant medical researcher, and an astrologer who wants just one date with Harrison Ford.  There is also Kate, a journalist determined to track down a Far-Right terrorist despite her dodgy leads.  In this play of magic and synchronicity, Phyllis Nagy reveals the wounds and yearnings of the Anglo-American aspirations with painful and hilarious humanity.

Please note this performance is recommended for those aged 16 years and over.
