About the play:
An all-pervasive fear of the future and a guilty pleasure in the excesses of the present drive Mike Bartlett's epic rollercoaster of a play from 1968 to 2525 and back again.

Nothing I do means anything certainly and that's depressing. But also, nothing I do is going to be the end of the world. There's a comfort in that.

Burlesque strip shows, bad dreams, social breakdown, population explosion, worldwide paranoia. A fast and furious metropolitan crash of people, scenes and decades, as three sisters attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves, while their dysfunctional father, a brilliant scientist, predicts global catastrophe.

It's Cabaret, we've got our heads down and we're dancing and drinking as fast as we can. The enemy is on its way, but this time it doesn't have guns and gas it has storms and earthquakes, fire and brimstone.

You were the glimmer. At the end of the tunnel. And you went out.

This show was "interesting"

Saw it twice, first half was great both times, but the 2nd half was a bit of a let down the first time

but once i dealt with the random plot bollocks at the end i could connect with the emotions a lot better and i actually it enjoyed it a lot more the 2nd time around

Is it me or should a trailer actually show a clip of the show, and not just stills?
