Department of Distractions

The Department of Distractions, an organisation so clandestine you
won't have heard of them. Until now.

They say their job is to plant stories in the world 'to make life more
interesting.' Others would argue that their job is as much to stop us
looking in certain directions. But a story they started has got out of
hand, they've lost control of it and now they're in danger of being
exposed. How far will they go to maintain their anonymity?

Third Angel brings you a conspiracy theory documentary-exposé
detective story for the 21st century that asks: What aren't you
looking at? #TheDepartmentOfDistractions

Third Angel is a theatre company making exciting and original contemporary performance that speaks directly, honestly and engagingly to its audience. Established in Sheffield in 1995, the company makes work that encompasses performance, theatre, live art, installation, film, video art, documentary, photography and design. They use styles, techniques and interests discovered in their more experimental work for other spaces, to create new theatre that plays with conventional forms while remaining accessible to a mainstream audience.

Third Angel has shown work in theatres, galleries, cinemas, office blocks, car parks, swimming baths, on the internet and TV, in school halls, a damp cellar in Leicester and a public toilet in Bristol. The company has shown work at festivals and venues across the UK, Europe and further afield, including Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, France, Spain, Russia, Lebanon, Brazil and the USA.
