About the show
Accidental Arson Theatre Company presents Faster in the Attic, a thriller about the death of astrophysicist Dr Jay Lewis, who dies suddenly in the middle of a revolutionary study on supermassive black holes. Everyone assumes suicide — except her fiancée, Andrea. Picking apart Jay's final days, Andrea tries to find proof of foul play with the help of Jay's colleague and a sceptical detective. As they sift through the evidence, Andrea starts to realise she didn't know her partner nearly as well as she thought. Performed at Mint Studio, the show runs 55 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
