I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven

Christopher Brett Bailey made a big underground stir with his 2014 show This Is How We Die, a remarkable mash up of bug-eyed beat poetry and roaring post-rock gig. He’s had various projects since – notably his collaboration with Sleepwalk Collective, Psychodrama – and This Is How We Die has a long tail, eventually being performed on such rarified stages as the Almeida and Berlin’s Schaubuhne. So there’s not been a 12-year absence, but at the same time I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven is kind of a follow up, a stage adaptation of his own novel that does indeed detail its narrator’s encounter with Beelzebub at a popular American convenience store. Expect intense, surreal poetics from the Jack White of the spoken word.
