OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    John Morton 

  • Synopsis

    It’s 2048. And it's the end of the world. Edel and Liam are living out the final hours in a remote Irish farmhouse at the base of a mountain. Liam frantically rat-a-tats his memories on a battered old typewriter, while Edel tries to connect with their children to say their final goodbyes. As the world collapses around them, Edel and Liam show the might of the human spirit as they navigate the end of the world with humour, honesty, and decades of shared history.
