Prepare for the end... If you can afford it. Kaia and Adam win a bizarre lottery and move into The Pod – a doomsday bunker that might jettison into space when the world ends in eight minutes and 19 seconds. Unless it doesn't, in which case the countdown will reset until it does finally end! The Pod is an LGBTQIA+ led absurd comedy play about grief, the state of the world and the importance of human connection.
