James Woolf‘s exploration of workers’ rights in the gig economy opened its London tour at the Etcetera theatre, where it returns between 29 and 30 October, and the Hen & Chickens Theatre. Audiences can also see it at the Bloomsbury Theatre on 10 October before finishing at the Old Red Lion between 17 and 20 November.
Empty in Angel tells the story of a bicycle courier and her community’s astounding fight for workers’ rights in the gig economy – their simple demands for fairness, dignity and security which will end in a historic legal battle.
Based on actual events, Empty in Angel lifts the lid on the gig economy and tells it like it is. It is a powerful piece of political theatre about something happening right now, the burgeoning movement to fight back against the gig economy ethos.
Empty in Angel was first staged at the White Bear Theatre in 2019. Following that run, it was a finalist in two categories at the Standing Ovation Awards. Darcy Willison, who starred in that original production, returns to the production for its 2020 run. While Ursula Campbell directed the original production of Empty in Angel, this new tour is directed by Katherine Reilly.
