The Drop of a Hat

Double Edge Drama • Amateur Company

50 minutes•Annexe
Hilarious and thought provoking in equal measure, The Drop of a Hat is a three-man comedy about an unlikely friendship formed in occupied France. When the naive Monty is paired with the world-weary Schulz on a special mission, a series of challenges force them to question their loyalty and beliefs, and to ask themselves how they can carry on in such a broken world. With a cast of colourful supporting characters, this is a play sure to make you laugh, cry and consider what makes life worth living.
