Address: 15 Kings Walk, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8AF Telephone: 01962 808533 Event: I SAW SATAN AT THE 7-ELEVEN - 8pm - Come see Christopher Brett Bailey (This Is How We Die) perform I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven. Fear and Loathing meets South Park in a screwball monologue that's part romance, part buddy comedy, part body horror. Two miles north of Hell, a nameless deadbeat narrator spots Satan buying soy milk at the 7-Eleven. Satan's a washed-up has-been, who’s totally lost his edge. That is until he falls in love with our narrator and the two embark on a debauched misadventure, by turns slapstick, violent, whimsical, dreamlike and tender.
