Primer for a Failed Superpower
Truce
the TEAM
We are writing a love letter to our children about what it was like to grow up in the 1980s… We are forming a cover band. Primer for a Failed Superpower will (likely) tell the tale of two cities: Washington, DC (then) and Detroit (now). It will (likely) be about a group of characters who were awesome in their 20s. Winner of the 2011 Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize, the TEAM presents a work in progress. Friday 24 August 2.30pm & 5.00pm The Hub Tickets £6 45 minutes approximately
