Stan's Cafe: The Cardinals

Stan's Cafe: The Cardinals

14 Jan 2013 - 19 Jan 2013 / Studio Theatre

Three Cardinals in crimson robes are on a mission of redemption. Supervised by a young, female, Muslim stage manager their evangelical puppet show races through key scenes from the Bible, famous incidents from the Crusades, and finally brings us to the contemporary Middle East. But their puppets have gone missing and the Cardinals must themselves act out the stories. 

The Cardinals ask us to show faith whilst theatre traditionally asks us to suspend our disbelief; a fascinating premise for a thought-provoking, witty and hugely entertaining show.
Founded in  Birmingham in 1991, Stan’s Café is a group of long-term artistic collaborators drawn from many disciplines. This show was premiered at Domaine d’O in 2011 in Montpellier, where Stan’s Café are artistic associates.
Co-production: Domaine d’O, Montpellier and Warwick Arts Centre with International Partnership Funding from Birmingham City Council
