Class of '76

Work:: Class of '76 (S1007099828)

34 kids pose for their class photo. One face in the crowd is Alexander Kelly. He likes comics, his favourite superhero is Spiderman and he wants to be a detective when he grows up. Cabaret night, 1999 Third Angel devise a 15-minute piece called Class of '76. Inspired by an old school photo, they spin the sublime, ridiculous and almost entirely made-up histories of this lost class. The storyteller is a co-artistic director Alex Kelly. Present Day Alex Kelly embarks on a unique research project, tracking down his old classmates and asking what they've been doing for the past 24 years. Part catalogue of memories, part real-life detective story, the story of Alex's search is a thought-provoking performance that investigates how even the smallest things in life have to grow up eventually.
