Author: Theatre of the Wild, Beautiful and Damned

The Theatre of the Wild, Beautiful and Damned is a carnival of delights leading somewhere you don’t want to go. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you’d hoped were forgotten. The company is the creation of Lee Mark Jones, a contemporary performance artist with a passion for the chaotic and surreal. “I intend to attract a new kind of audience which does not usually go to the theatre; an audience craving strange journeys of darkness, horror, suspense, and wonder. All these thrills we will provoke into life, in the flesh, breathing and bleeding on stage, and right in your face.” Lee Mark Jones

Xiii Shades of Black Festival – 19 March 2022 – The Facebar Reading.

If you read our preview with the Crazy Cowboys, then you’d know that we were really excited about the return of live music after the depression of the pandemic.

The Theatre of the Wild, Beautiful and the Damned

Ziggy Stardust takes us on a tragical Mystery Tour through the life of Gypsy Lee Pistolero, AKA Lee Mark-Jones.

This one man- show plays out against a backdrop of videos and scenes from his early life: the jaded ageing rocker sings along with his young pretty self and belts out songs from Punk to the Present, from an initially glamtastic, then tragic Rock’n’Roll career.

It’s a tale of anarchy, rage, sadness and laughter. It’s a struggle between damnation and salvation, of a man who comes to terms with himself.

Co-starring Lemmy, Slash, Axl Rose, Blondie, Joey Ramone and Joan Jett amongst others.

It’s all true! Raw, brutal, honest, hilarious, tragic, poignant and entertaining. If you love Rock /punk music you will love it. All true unheard stories…
