Harry and the Angels by Bernard Kops

4 Extra Debut. Bernard Kops takes us down the Hackney road in an impressionistic, idiosyncratic journey. With Stephen Greif and Louise Brealey.

A very personal story about death, love and friendship.

Award-winning writer Bernard Kops guides us through London's East End in an impressionistic, idiosyncratic journey of lost love, kite flying, angels and tube station tragedy.

Following on from 麻豆官网首页入口 drama 'Whitechapel Dreams', Bernard returns with a deeply personal and highly moving story.

He himself plays Leonard, visiting his old friend, Harry, for the final time.

He's also the narrator of the piece, inside and outside the action; following the main events in the life and death of East End Harry.

Starting with his early, idyllic love affair with young Phoebe, sadly curtailed, through to his success as an auctioneer - and a crucial act of bitterness against Leonard to his dying day in a Mare Street hospice.
