ROCK HEAVEN - by Scarlett Deva Antaloczy and Nigel Osner
"Still Human Where It Counts" featured in A STAGE KINDLY presents "Bravo".
This is the story of young Poppy Love, aged 19, who comes to London to begin her career as a groupie. She has her sights set on Throb, an American rock star. She gets to live with him until he vanishes. An animatronic model of Throb then appears in Rock Heaven, a new theme restaurant, which celebrates all the great dead rock stars. The restaurant is owned by Throb's agent, Lucrezia Leech, a tribute to plastic surgery. The models are made by Michelangelo Smith, a gourmet and sculptor with a sudden interest in cannibalism. Michelangelo's partner is the charismatic Soho Slicer, a serial killer, who wishes to make amends by giving some chosen victims his version of eternal life. So what are the models exactly? And what is Poppy's connection to the Slicer and to an over the hill lady detective investigating Throb's disappearance?
