Description

"It's always been the end."

The sky's on fire and everything's falling apart. Out of options, inseparable trio Ash, Oliver, and Kieron have retreated to their old childhood hangout to figure out what the plan is – or whether there's even one at all.

That’s until Phoebe turns up. Wanting to talk. Wanting connection. Wanting forgiveness.

As the hours tick down, old grudges are unearthed and tempers flare as the group struggle to come to terms with the decade-long fallout of an event that drove them apart. If all you had was a single night, do you think you could make things right again?

The second play from Stephen Leach (Can't Wait To Leave) and directed by Mimi Collins (Water Party, Snakeskin Suit, Orange Flower Water), One Breath Before The End is a moving, acutely intimate piece exploring how far the bonds of friendship can be tested before they break.
