A Lyric Hammersmith Production
On a farm in the North East of England a family gathers. Behind them the sea boils orange. The universe is coming to an end. Three of England's leading playwrights come together in a unique collaboration to create an epic play about hope, love, fear and the very end of time. If it were all to end where would you go? Who would you see? What would you do?

8th - 17th July (previews from 6th)
Improbable and Keith Johnstone's Lifegame
Part chat show (with a surprise guest). Part improv show.

Commenting on the enw season, artistic director Sean Holmes said, "Collaboration is at the heart of theatre and collaboration, in all its forms, is at the heart of our new season. The sonic blast of Filter, the fevered imaginations of Dyson and Nyman, the uniqueness of Cartoon de Salvo, the theatrical excess of the Brothers Marquez, the glorious insanity of Spymonkey, the unsettling vision of Eldridge, Holman and Stephens and Improbable's improbability should ensure six months of terror, laughter and the unexpected…"
