Google Twilight Theatre CompanyAbout the show
Twilight Theatre Company presents The Problem, a rapid-paced comedy written by Brian Parks and directed by Margarett Perry, both Fringe First winners. In their secretive high-rise office, the odd trio of Manning, Slater and Wilson think they've finally redeemed themselves — until The Problem arrives, threatening their very existence. It must be solved fast or they face the abyss. Previous works from Parks include Plotters, Enterprise and Shortlist. Suitable for ages 14 and over, running for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
A fast-moving office comedy with genuine stakes and a sharp comic sensibility. Twilight Theatre Company brings wit and invention to a simple, high-pressure premise — exactly the kind of compact Fringe theatre that delivers.
