Book NowAbout the show
End of the World Theatre Company presents this dark drama about returning, leaving and holistic horticulture. Sam is going home — except it isn't home anymore, not since they and Jamie broke up two years ago. But the world is ending, and it is better to be with someone who used to love you than to be alone. As society crumbles and relationships fracture, one question remains: where do you want to die? Running 50 minutes at Upper Theatre (Round), this LGBTQ+ new writing piece suits audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
