Description
A teenage girl boils up in rage in a toilet cubicle. A finance worker preaches doom in a busy train station. An absurd coke-addled celebrity races through town on a mission. A paranoid stoner stares blankly at the endless disasters on the TV news. In just one moment, all their worlds will end. Winner of Best New Play at The Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland 2017
Reviews
Superb storytelling theatre Hurleys new show is a quiet hurricane blowing through the city. It is anxious whisper that becomes a shout; a moment of silence that turns into the high-pitched whine of catastrophe * The Guardian *
Urgent, compelling, beautiful writingconfirms Hurleys status as one of the most powerful writers to emerge in British theatre this decade * The Scotsman *
Acutely observed yet ferociously powerful storytelling * The Independent *
