Albany to Co-Present NO MORE WORRIES
No More Worries combines theatre and spoken word with an original soundtrack and follows a mismatched duo on a road-trip around austerity Britain. It makes its London premiere at the Albany this autumn.
Kieran is 27 and stuck in a dead-end town. He wants to see the world: foreign suns, adventure and cocktails. Paul is 50 and on the road again in an old-skool campervan. They end up on the road together searching for the perfect holiday moment, but discover that the past is sometimes the only thing you can't leave behind.
An accessible, funny and poignant theatrical adventure, No More Worries follows Simon Mole's first full-length collaboration with Peader Kirk - the sell-out hit Indiana Jones and the Extra Chair.
As a solo artist, Simon Mole is renowned for his sharp witted observations and has shared the bill with artists like Simon Armitage, John Cooper Clarke, and Kate Tempest. He is part of the Albany resident, Chill Pill collective, and regularly works with older participants in the Meet Me at the Albany day club. Simon was the first ever poet laureate for the London Borough of Brent.
Peader Kirk is an Artist and Director working internationally in the fields of Performance and Sound Art. His work has recently been shown at the ICA, London, The National Theatre of Greece, Athens and the Academy of Fine Arts, Turin.
The collaboration saw Mole and Kirk hit the road in a campervan of their own, setting up shop at parks, town squares and quaysides nationwide to ask passers-by to suggest a tune for their ultimate road-trip playlist, or contribute a perfect holiday moment to an interactive digital map.
No More Worries is touring nationally and plays at RADAR, the Bush Theatre's annual festival of new writing.
