Stan's Cafe (UK) - The Cardinals (London Premiere) Mon 14 - Sa t 19 Jan @ 8pm After-show discussion: Tue 15 Jan Runs 110 mins / no inte rval £15 (£13 concs) Three Cardinals in crimson robes are on a mission ofredemption. Supervised by a young, female, Muslim stage manager, their evangelical puppet show races through key scenes from the Bible, famous in cidents from the Crusades, and finally brings us to the contemporary Middl e East. But their puppets have gone missing and the Cardinals must themselv es act out the stories. The Cardinals ask us to show faith whilst theatre t raditionally asks us to suspend our disbelief; a fascinating premise for athought-provoking, witty and hugely entertaining show. Founded in Birming ham in 1991, Stan’s Cafe is a group of long-term artistic collaborators dr awn from many disciplines. This show was premiered at Domaine d’O in 2011 i n Montpellier, where Stan’s Cafe are Artistic Associates.
