Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Besi Besemar March 1, 2014

New Venture Theatre’s production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, runs from May 2-17.

Hedwig Angry Inch

Internationally ignored song stylist Hedwig Schmidt is an East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation.

Backed by hard-rocking band The Angry Inch on their “East Sussex Tour”, Hedwig tells us of her life’s search for The Origin of Love and the people who have made her the woman she is today. Sugar daddies, punk idols, downtrodden Eastern European drag queens and the soulmate who stole her songs to achieve rock star fame; all put in an appearance.

Hedwig & the Angry Inch

It’s a rocking ride, funny, touching and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

This ground breaking Obie-winning off-Broadway smash also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation.

Until March 10 the show is accepting donations through crowd-funding website Indiegogo.
