Set amongst the backdrop of mid-recession Britain and a decaying newspaper industry, this is the true-story adventure into the self-fulfilling prophecy by “One of the UK’s Top Ten Literary Talents” (Sunday Times). Navigating poetry, stories and animation this is a darkly comic ride head forth into the apocalypse by Time Out Award-winning poet Ross Sutherland.
Exploring themes such as media rhetoric, historical bias, and posterity in art, The Three Stigmata of Pacman attempts to be a snapshot of contemporary Britain at a strange turning point in its cultural legacy; where newspapers are reporting science fiction, and the poets are burying themselves in the garden.
