Failsafe

Trophy Wife / Rhymes with Purple • Professional company

90 minutes•Meeting Room
Ivy and Jones, two deadbeat, dead-end 20-somethings are looking for a way out. Ivy knows that suicide is the answer but doesn’t want to die alone. Jones is cool with being dead, but doesn’t want to die a virgin. Four going on five tries in and they're still breathing; I guess sometimes the universe has other plans for you. As Ivy’s frustration mounts and their tenuous relationship degrades, a violent solution finally materialises. What follows is a pitch-black comedy about escaping your ugly, rotten, nasty, little life by finding a gun and finally pulling the trigger.
