About

Written during Donald Trump’s first term in office, Do You Feel Anger? is a surreal dark comedy exploring whether you can achieve compromise, without compromising your values.

Sofia is an empathy coach, hired to help a debt collection agency stop screaming at people on the phone. Whilst dealing with her own family difficulties, she is determined to teach the employees emotions beyond anger, hunger and horn. But the longer she struggles to make change happen, the more she finds herself drawn into the dangerous absurdity of what passes for normal.

Howie: Simon Berry
Jordan: Sarmed Hyder
Jon: Martin Peacock
Janie / Sofia’s mum: Jenni Wredden

Good Time

At our auditions this season there will be another chance to get involved with a brand new KDC event – Good Time, an eclectic showcase of all kinds of creative talent from the KDC community and beyond for one night only in December at a venue to be confirmed.

As a performer, there will be two ways to get involved – be part of something devised by someone else, or bring your own talent that could work as a solo performance. So, if you’re an actor-musician, actor-poet, actor-acrobat or multi-hyphenate of any kind… there could be a role in this for you!

The Good Time team will be on hand at the first auditions to tell you a bit more about it, and recruiting performers from our auditionees. 

For now though, if we’ve got you interested, just tick the box on the audition form and tell us what you’d want to share.
