About the show
Manás Theatre Lab presents The Last Drop, a thriller-comedy from Brazil's São Paulo Showcase. A couple awaiting a real estate agent instead finds a mould stain on the ceiling and an unstoppable leak. A man is called in to fix it but abruptly disappears. The stain grows larger, the leak does not stop, and the past buried within the building's walls begins to surface. Nominated for Brazil's 2024 Shell Award for Best Playwriting, this is a slow-burn play about what lies beneath the surface of things.
Why see this show?
A creeping, darkly comic thriller in which a simple leak becomes something far more unsettling — the past seeping through the walls. A fresh voice from the São Paulo Showcase, nominated for a major Brazilian playwriting prize.
