DUSTY BUMS PRODUCTIONS
PRESENTS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF
JOSHUA THOMAS’

ANGELS AND WHISKEY

One of the “Seven Most Anticipated Hollywood Fringe 2014” shows! Cinesnatch…(Cinesnatch’s 7 Most Anticipated)
You’re in Heaven. You hate it. Now what?

When John has a heart attack in a bar he doesn’t immediately notice his own death but he does order another whiskey from the reaper. Now, stuck in a heaven that he ‘chose’ himself, condemned to drink the same glass of whiskey over and over for eternity, his misery attracts the attention of Lucifer who is curious about someone who has successfully created their own Hell in Heaven. And the fun begins.
A dark comedy about free will, Angels and Whiskey is the show to see of you want to know what really happened to Shakespeare, The Marquis de Sade, Ayn Rand and Gandhi once they shuffled off this mortal coil.

JOSHUA THOMAS is an award winning actor and playwright with shows produced in St Louis, New York and now LA. Born in New Zealand, trained in Australia and now performing in the US, his recent performance of Orsino in the Shakespeare Festival of St Louis’ production of Twelfth Night won him the Best Actor in a Comedy award for St Louis’ 2013 theatre season. The same year also saw Joshua a winner of the inaugural Labute New American Theatre Festival for his play ‘Kink’.

Critical responses to Joshuas earlier works include:

“It’s an intellectually refreshing flashback to the existentialists and absurdists of the 50’s and 60’s. For all this I thank Thomas profusely.”
“There is much reminiscent of Samuel Beckett in this play. …absolutely, scrumptiously funny.” KDHX

“A clever way with words and an off kilter approach to clever dialogue that makes this effort sparkle.” LADUE NEWS

“It’s a provocative piece that’s worth your time.” BROADWAY WORLD

ANGELS AND WHISKEY features Joshua Thomas, Daniel J. Parker and Bruce Cervi as John.
