By Martin Jameson. In today's 'zeit', the 'geist' is everywhere - environmental catastrophe, conspiracy theories, populism, fake news, the age of the algorithm, nationalism, racism,social exclusion. Not to mention pandemics. As the world teeters on the edge of various self-made apocalypses, Angst! takes a satirical sideways look at our own naked fears. Five separate but connected half-hour 'what if?' stories all told under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Timor Greer. With Populism and conspiracy theories in the ascendant, and comedians and reality TV stars running nations, how can The Establishment fight back? A failing actor finds himself auditioning for the part of a lifetime. It’s a Faustian deal, he (literally) cannot refuse. But is he the only one playing a role? Cast: Tony Bland …..
