About COGGIA
The Late Utopians follows Emma, a journalist by day who at night slips into a hidden subculture. Set against the backdrop of an unravelling America, rave culture and heartbreak, she finds a community offering something the outside world cannot — a vision of a different future. Company COGGIA's new play, shortlisted for the Charlie Harthill award, asks what the cost of searching for a better future might be. Performed at Iron Belly, it features strong language, strobe lighting and scenes of violence.
Why see this show?
An ambitious new play from COGGIA that puts rave culture and political longing on stage together. It is urgent, contemporary writing that does not shy away from difficult questions about hope and its price.
