Plays for the End of the World is an exploration of all the apocalypses we face on a daily basis. It’s a collection of short plays that span the heartbreaking removal of a beloved office watercooler, to the deliberations of a group of scientists over what time to set the Doomsday Clock. Funny at times, infuriating at others – Plays for the End of the World is, despite it’s name, a search for what’s next.

“A fantastic example of plays not needing to be long to be excellent theatre … a great compilation of short pieces that hit hard in all the best ways… three performers incredibly well synched up—captivating the audience…truly wonderful physicality… In all, this show has all the substance I craved… Plays for the End of the World was a really fantastic example of quality over quantity” – Julia Bueneman, Apartment613
