By Alex Straker. 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. A third-generation Londoner of Caribbean heritage is forced to take part in a virtual reality game in order to win the ultimate prize - British citizenship. Victory lies within her grasp – all she has to do is complete the levels. Simple, right? Unless there’s more to the game than meets the eye. Cast: Boudica ….. Jade Anouka Abe55 …..
