ANGER
ANGER is a story which follows the adventures of a mutant Queen Elizabeth II into a post-apocalyptic Covid-riddled world.

Covid-19, Brexit, the British class system, monarchy, mental health, free will and suicide are dramatised in this work. As the “Leavers“ rush to escape their human bodies by transforming into mech-organic creatures, the “Remainers“ scramble to find some way to survive without them.
