Ring That Bell!
By Kira Mason

Ding! Welcome to Hell! Ring That Bell is an immersive dark comedy in which two fallen angels are tasked with guarding the gates to hell and directing newcomers to their assigned circles, such as: the ring of fire, the billionaire ball pit, the circle jerk and the cone of shame. Lucy, with her cheery customer service attitude, and Bubs with her... attitude, provide you with important guidance regarding vaccines, fire doors and how to gaslight yourself into enjoying your eternal stay. The last several inductions haven't gone so well, but not to worry... 13th time’s the charm.

Director's Note

In this production, I wanted to explore our need for trust and connection within the relationship of ‘Lucy’ and ‘Bubs’. Mason’s poetic writing allows for greater nuance in its delivery, and whilst the two characters are frequently at each other’s throats, bickering like an old married couple, there is a deep level of love and respect at its core.

 

As a director, it was an exciting challenge to develop the immersive comedic action of the play, whilst subtly tackling some poignant issues: two angels choosing to navigate trauma in two different extremes. This leads us to question: how can we find the middle ground? Can trust that was lost be regained?

 

I wish for audiences to experience joy and laughter whilst reflecting on how we, as a society, choose to label and categorise. Are we all angelically “good” or devilishly “bad”? Can we choose to learn and accept those who are different from us?
