Fanatical is a new Sci- Fi Musical by Reina Hardy and Matt Board.

 

If you’re a Sci Fi fan, you’ll find something to love in Fanatical.

 

If you’ve attended Sci Fi conventions, you’ll recognise something of yourself – and others – in the characters which have been lovingly and sympathetically portrayed in this two hour adventure with a ‘family’ comprised of geeks and misfits.

 

In a distant Galaxy – the ragtag misfit crew of cargo ship Angel 8 are under the command of fearless pilot Iris Aucht.

​

Meanwhile…at a conference centre, somewhere in England – a ragtag misfit collection of 1,000 fans gather from all across the UK for Eight Con One, the first ever official convention of the cult TV show Angel 8.

Angel 8 started as a comic created by reclusive British Sci-fi author Scott Furnish. Its first TV outing ended on a shocking cliffhanger. With eager anticipation at the promise of a second series, these enthusiastic devotees have come together to celebrate their beloved series and to meet Scott face-to-face and hear his keynote speech.

​

Fanatical is about being true to oneself, finding love against the odds, and snatching triumph from the jaws of disaster – proving that no power in the universe can keep a story from its fans.

​

The production played at the Playground Theatre, and was produced by Neil Marcus and Rachel Kraftman for The Stables.
