by DORIS RICHARDS and ALLEN SADDLER and featuring
Maurice, who was once employed by Ponsonby's Hairdressing in London's
West End, has been left with a set of values that have no place in the tatty East End establishment he now runs. The carping remarks of his disillusioned wife, Phoebe, her shady relatives and Petal, her daughter by a previous marriage, all serve to make his life pretty unbearable. Will going unisex really help matters?

Angels of Fire
Rescuing poetry from its tame, bookish image, the third annual Festival of Radical Poetry offers a unique and refreshing alternative to mainstream literary events. This is the poetry of engagement, confronting contemporary issues and challenging the status quo. The inspiration of the Angels of Fire poetry collective, it brings together New Wave, feminist, black and experimental writers and dancers - a rare opportunity to see new poetic talent in the atmosphere of public performance.
Recorded at The Drill Hall Arts Centre. London
Made by ANGELS OF FIRE with help from COMMUNITY PROGRAMME UNIT
