It's 2034, the eve of the General Election, and the air is thick with the familiar feelings of hope and despair. In a TFL staff room, a world-wearied train driver and an ever-optimistic veteran of the industry reflect on how being a tube driver is no walk in the park. Meanwhile, in 2029, on the eve of the previous election, five people are riding the tube home. When the train unexpectedly stops, the group realises that not only do they not know what's causing the delay, but that they are also now the only people on board. As the five of them - a disenfranchised twenty-something, a politician's PA, an expat scientist, a homeless ghost of the last hanged Londoner and a girl who no one knows - try to work out why they are trapped, they are caught up in apocalyptic speculation and new-age conspiracies, and are forced to contemplate how they each fit into this group, into London and into this ever-changing country. Maybe the tube stopping is the first sign of the end. Or maybe, for some, the end has already begun. As individual narratives clash with the fundamental changes of a Britain on the brink of climate, economic and societal collapse, those in 2034 and 2029 alike are left wondering the same thing: could everything change tomorrow?| 24 May 22 to 28 May 22 | Bread and Roses Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
