As part of the annual Queer Up North festival imitatingthedog present Tales from the Bar of Lost Souls.
imitatingthedog make work that experiments with story-telling & narrative in the contemporary theatrical experience.
At the end of his life a dying man turns to his only friend & asks him to put right a wrong committed many years ago; saying yes, the friend embarks on a journey that takes him back to The Bar of Lost Souls, a place where, it is said, your deepest desires become real.
Tales from the Bar of Lost Souls is a story of forbidden love, criminality & the possibility of finding redemption in the unlikeliest of places; the audience watch the action through the bar’s window, as a carnival of unsavoury characters reveal themselves & the haunting sequence of tales of murder, love & forgiveness unfolds.
