It’s Headed Straight Towards Us

Author(s): Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer Company: Jonathan Church Theatre Productions and RJG Productions in association with Park Theatre Running time: 2h approx Age recommendation: 12+ years

Cast includes Rufus Hound and Samuel West.

Two actors, stuck in a trailer on the side of a volcano, in Iceland. The glacier is melting, the volcano is active.

Bitter rivalries emerge between fussy ‘bit part’ actor Hugh Delavois (Samuel West) and fading Hollywood bad boy Gary Savage (Rufus Hound), going back to their time at college together, as the film they are meant to be working on collapses around them and the trailer they are in begins to slip.

An avalanche wipes out the only escape road and the only bridge to safety subsides into the ravine.

Stuck with them is 21-year-old Leela, the runner on the film, and supposed seismology expert. As their arguments and point-scoring become increasingly fractious, it is down to Leela to contain their petty squabbles and prepare them for the possibility that they may not get out of this alive.
