Cast and creatives announced for new micro movie musical CAPRICORN 29

The Tank, in partnership with postal plays festival Post Theatrical, have announced the cast and creative team behind new micro movie musical, Capricorn 29, written by Alex Hare and Julia Izumi.

On the eve of her 29th birthday, a Very Online millennial stumbles upon a curious conspiracy theory: the powers-that-be have initiated a new capitalist plot to eliminate unsuccessful 30- year-olds. What sounds at first like the byproduct of someone watching too many dystopian films from the 1970s quickly proves harder to dismiss. And as the countdown to 30 begins, surviving and saving a generation may be the opportunity one young-ish adult needs to finally fulfill her rapidly fading potential. Unfolding in the form of a hallucinatory YouTube wormhole, Capricorn 29 is a micro movie musical that wrestles with the tyranny of age-based milestones.

The cast includes Kalyne Coleman, Brendan George and Lindsey Steinert, and features original songs by Laura Galindo, Daniel and Patrick Lazour, STOMPCAT and Storm Thomas.

Directed by Hare, Capricorn 29 will stream on demand via CyberTank between 20-30 May 2021.

Tickets are available now here on a pay-what-you-can basis.
