A play by Natalia Riga
FOX & SPARROW
About the Play
​
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 in a world of violence and divisiveness? Endure or confront?
​
Fox & Sparrow was presented at Barnstaple's Fringe TheatreFest in June 2024, with cast members Elizabeth Daleigh and Morgan Salmon-Hutchings. It is now in further development, funded by Arts Council England, Landmark Theatres and Flourishing North Devon (North Devon Council), ahead of performing at the Landmark Festival in September.​​
