Gangster Kittens

'Most people prefer the predictable life. The things they do today are pretty much the same things they did yesterday and will be doing tomorrow...' An uncompromising portrait of the struggles of a resplendent teenager with an anarchic spirit, fighting to maintain her existence in the bleak urban landscape of London. In a time where people have replaced God with consumer goods, few are willing to flee their material miseries to find a new world of possibilities. Angel is a cool but troubled nymphet, disillusioned by the tedium and meaninglessness of her uninviting working class future, her eyes filled with ferocious pique. Neglected by her abusive uncle and abandoned by her school, the disparate and embittered delinquent embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery. Sufficiently curious about the adult world, this leads her to the gaunt spectral figure of Jez Prior, an enigmatic source of amorous intrigue who senses her varying burgeoning sexual impulses and convinces her that the fairground may not be all that far away. Cue the world of the bordello, an institution like no other, and Beverly Baxter, its quintessential archetypal madam, a gangster like figure moving in the circles of high society. 2e
