About the show
Fight or Flight is a one-act play by Noe Productions following two trans men who find and lose love for one another. Told across 14 scenes in a non-linear timeline, the 35-minute piece builds to a twist ending in which the audience chooses the characters' fate. The jury are aware it is life or death. Two alternate endings mean no two audience experiences are quite the same.
Why see this show?
A compact and inventive piece of LGBTQ+ drama that hands genuine agency to its audience. At 35 minutes it is tightly constructed, and the non-linear structure keeps you piecing things together until the very last moment. For audiences aged 16 and over.
