FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Piradically-Correct?
Modern day pirates get down & dirty in the underground

The Piradicals, Angry Peach Productions, 14th till the 20th February, 8.30pm, at The Moorings, 31 Glenbervy Tce, Thorndon, Tickets $12 Addict, $14 Concession & $16 Waged, bookings 0212345678.

The Piradicals displays a new kind of honesty through experimental film and theatre. Expanding from fringe 2007s Curious?, The Piradicals explores the grittiness of sex and gender and the shocking exposure of the prism of identities emerging from the underground.

“With the focus on Genderqueer identity and gender ambiguity, this is something that has re-emerged recently in Western culture after centuries of oppression” says Director Stevie Wildewood. “Our focus is on rawness, to provoke and crumble binaries that have been established on sex and gender.”

The Piradicals themselves are an underground society, made up rebels, vagabonds and the sexually ambiguous. Their mission is simple; disrupt the peace, challenge the authority, create a new kind of sexually free revolution.

Though The Piradicals has a noble cause and positive beliefs, Angry Peach are not trying to portray their characters as heroes. Depicting real people with obvious flaws is one that they are working to achieve. “I think it’s much more interesting to create a character that is far from perfect, even despicable,” says actress Sophie Stone. “We started off with the Piradical’s on a pedestal, but then decided against it. It was just too easy.”

So can The Piradicals succeed in their revolution, or will their cruel and power hungry nature work to corrupt their whole belief system?
