A woman obsessed with death builds her own coffin but can’t be bothered with the instructions. Two men come to clear Mrs Ardent’s house but get more than they bargained for. And the devil is alive and well…and living in Lewes.

Join critically acclaimed theatre company, Told by an Idiot (“Their work is never less than sublime” – The Independent) for an exclusive screening of their take on the 7 Deadly Sins as, for the first time, they disappear down a cinematic rabbit hole. Mixing the mischievous with the macabre, the unflattering with the unsettling, this unique version of these warnings to humankind fuse laughter and pain in true Idiot style.

Bringing together 7 extraordinary emerging film makers and an Idiot ensemble of 7 performers (including co-founder Hayley Carmichael), along with Idiot collaborator and esteemed actor Edward Petherbridge, 7 Deadly Idiots continues Told by an Idiot’s journey of creating the unexpected since 1993.

The screening is followed by a post show discussion with Told by an Idiot Artistic Director Paul Hunter and a special guest (to be announced) on the influence of film on Told by an Idiot’s work, and the difference in working on stage and screen.

The screening will be captioned and post screening talk will be BSL interpreted by Paul Michaels.
