Sabotage is a dark absurdist comedy by Mayaswell Productions and Fool's House. A man about to board a one-way flight to an unknown destination encounters an unexpected passenger: his older, more accomplished self. What begins as a reunion spirals into a surreal confrontation about ego, regret and missed connections. The show is described as part Waiting for Godot, part Looper, and offers a wry take on the quarter-life crisis. It runs for 50 minutes at Big (End On) and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A clever two-hander that uses an airport delay to stage a full-blown confrontation between a man and his future self. Absurdist in form but tender at heart, Sabotage skewers ambition and self-delusion with real wit — ideal for anyone who's ever been their own worst enemy.
